Re: Overdrive Transmission Swap Info for GM units
I have been checking for a month now. I found one, but it has the electronic speedometer. Don't know how to switch it out. It was in a Camaro.

Re: Overdrive Transmission Swap Info for GM units
Gonna wait on the tranny for now. Unless it is an unbelievable deal. Maybe I can still make it to the knoxville show with my TH350. I am guessing and hoping that it will be less that 150$ for gas. Heres to hopin!
I think now since I am not on a time crunch just to get another gear I will start looking for a 5 or 6 speed. That is really what I wanted anyway.

Re: Overdrive Transmission Swap Info for GM units
IIRC in most 5 or 6 speed transmissions, 4th gear is 1:1 and 5 and 6 are both OD. So you are still facing the same issue with the rear gearing.
If gas mileage is your overriding concern right now and you indeed have a 3.08 rear gear, you are better off swapping the rear gear to 2.73 and leave your TH350 alone right now (assuming it runs well). It will be cheaper and more cost-effective.

I have a 2:73 in it right now, but I have a 3:08 in the shed at my mom's place.
