4 speed identification

blmopar1 said
I know of a 4 speed out of a 1968 340 barracuda for sale and was woundering if the are any charts that will have what all the numbers on the outside casting signify. What is a trans like this worth, all original never rebuilt. Thanks

I can't help you with value except to say I paid $425 for a nice useable unit, and $350 for a core, the last 2 A-body trans purchased,,

The overdrive trans generally had an imput bearing retainer measuring over 5 inches..

Regardless of the numbers,, the side cover should be removed to inspect the gears for wear and broken teeth, which will help determine a value.,

When you take the side cover off,, there are identifying marks on the gears that'll ID the trans you have.. see link..

I believe the 2:47,, ( 3-ring) trans is the close ratio, commonly desired trans,, and likely was original in that vehicle,, but anything is poss..

hope it helps... cheers
