Car 4-speeds
If I wanted to switch from a truck 3-speed to a car 4-speed is there anything special I need to do or look out for?

Yes, you need to flat shift it, and watch out for the tire smoke. ![]() On a serious note though, if the 3-speeds are anything like th350's, you won't have any length problems. Most likely you'll need a th400 style slip yoke. I don't know enough about factory 3 speeds. Hurst makes a shifter just for swapping car 4-speeds into trucks, might want to check that out.

the biggest thing to look out for on car 4 speed's is FINDING ONE !
they are gone ! I used to keep them 3 or 4 at a time , $50 buck's was a good price for one , you can't find a smell of one now !! I should have my rear end kicked for not keeping some of them , I had a T10 BW out of a wrecked when new 72 TA !! I love a 4spd they are really fun to drive ,,,

They are basically an updated muncie, usually not as hammered as the muncies, and have a wider selection of gear ratios. |
