well, to be 100% acurate, there were only powerglides, Th400's, and manual shift trannys in 67/68.

well if it has a kickdown cable its a th350, also the pan is different than a th400 the 400 uses an electric kickdown or you could just measure your tailshaft oh and the modulator valve location is different from the th350 to th400 also

Re: which tail shaft?

I just found him in an old pm and asked him via pm. The truck is about 15 minutes away from me parked in a barn and im too lazy to go look =)



I really dont know jack about auto trannys. Im buying a gear vendors overdrive and I need to know which one I have so I buy the correct one.

Thanks guys
