4 speed help
« on: August 14, 2007 - 04:02:39 PM »
I was talking to a old mopar dude, and he told me he has a 18 spline 4 speed for $900.00   He said it is a E or B body type. Does this make since? I thought they where different. I dont have pics yet, a little insight would be helpful.

They are the same, the 4-speed has 2 mounting locations on the tail end, the e-body shifter attaches to the rear mount and the b body mounts in the front of the rear, $900 is pretty steep for a 4-speed unless it is a hemi 4-speed you can tell by counting the splines (ridges) on the shaft that sticks out of the front 18 is hemi and 23 is standard, check out this site http://www.slantsix.org/articles/4-speeds/ODA833fourspeed1.htm

the early up to 69 4 spd had the mount in a different position & did not have the 2 shifter mount pads , only the front one for B body
 be careful what you are buying
