4 speed ka-booom !

That # ,I think is a part of the VIN that the tranny came out of.
The 9 would indicate year 1969, and the B would be Hamtrack. The rest would be the sequence number that would be a part of the serial number, that would also be found on the engine, the tranny, and several places on the body.
But you see that 3-digit number off to the right side? That could be the CDE number which can be decoded to tell us the year,body and engine , that the tranny was originally in. I read yours as 008, which does not decode to anything. For a late 69 date, A-body,SBM, that should be 602.
AS to this;
" I was more pm'ing you about the slick shift ? I get the faster shifts, but strength? 2 out of 3 teeth gone!"
I don't understand. What did I miss? Come back...

That's 003 , according to Brewer's performance that number being behind the date number meant it was the third one that made that day?
Racer43 was suggesting the slick shift from passion performance. I've been taking this under consideration at the cost of $275. It seemed to shift just fine before, and as you know I'm putting the v-gate on for this next year. My question is strength when you're taking out every other tooth?
And thank you again for answering all my crazy question, but also I hope this is helping other people too....
