M38 was supposed to say th350, M40 was supposed to be th400, but they didnt always label it right, so it could be either a th350 or th400 being an m38

Re: m38 trans mission code?

this has been brought up recently... no clue what it is. M49 is for hydramatic, both 350 and 400, m35 is the powerglide, m16 and M17 are 3 speeds, m20 and 28 are 4 speeds, and the m10 is the overdrive.... there is no m38 listed.
