Anybody out there in Buickland have experience with manual transmissions on full size barges, i.e. Wildcat / LeSabres? I have a 1970 LeSabre I am thinking of converting and am not sure it a Muncie will take the weight. Thanks, Reinhart
a 3 speed manual trans was standard on a 1970 LeSabre and Wildcat. The pedal and linkages are fully illustrated in the Chassis Service Manual. I have only seen one set of these before. A muncie rebuilt with all the new available componets (new gear set, case and mid-plate) would be tough enough for the job. Its a M22W (wide ratio). keep me informed and let me know how i can help.
Rowin the boat Hi Greg, thanks for the answer, I will start looking for and gathering the components. Will probably be a while before I start into it, actually, I cant do it myself, so, I am hoping to find someone who knows what they are doing. Might be a while. So is that the Muncie I should be looking for (M22W?). I think I have the Chassis Service Manual somewhere, thanks for that tip also!!! Reinhart
