How much did that thing weigh? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Went and replaced the TO bearing in the 69, clutch was still in great shape, whoever replaced it last never readjusted the linkage, and had the bearing riding the clutch fingers the whole time. Getting the tranny out was a snap, gotta love the huge removable section of the floor, was able to do 90% of the work from inside the cab. Putting the tranny back in was a pain, Me and my sister were lifting from underneath, and a friend from the top, we couldn't even budge it. I got up in the cab, straddled the thing and lifted by the shifter, got it up there but man it was heavy. Glad I didn't throw my back out. I think it's the muncie 4spd, the shifter goes in through the top, no external linkage. How much does that tranny weigh?
