The problem is I can not identify it. The number stamped in the rear case is RM46029. Looks to be a GM transmission from what I can tell. Any ideas on what I am dealing with? | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 7,440 Bolter | | Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 7,440 | It might help if we knew what year "Parts Truck" you removed it from and what engine was in front of it. Always include this info whenever you ask a new question. Don't just assume we know. Good luck in your quest.

They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though.

It appears the truck this was removed from originally had a 4 speed transmission because it has the correct floor plate and the correct steering column.
I am trying to id the one I have because it works and could be a good transmission. I am thinking it is from a larger truck and could be older. Thanks for your help. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 277 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 277 | | | |
