The casting number is 590474 SN#9088I33. It is a four speed with the thumb lock out for the reverse. I would like to find out any info so I can attempt to mate this up to my new 292 if at all possible. Any info would be great. Thanks.
Matt

All I have ever heard them referred to is a GM sliding gear transmission because it uses sliding gears instead of syncros. The bolt pattern is different than later Chev or GMC transmissions. The only way it will bolt to a 292 is with some modification or with an adapter. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2010 Posts: 11 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Oct 2010 Posts: 11 | that is all I have been seeing too. I've seen 420 and 435 but those are syncro transmission and they are a longer case. my case is only 9". Thanks for the help. | | |
