3 on the tree or 4 on the floor.

A manual transmission with 3 gears and reverse that is located on the steering column. I like it on the tree and on the floor depends on the vehicle for me. Converting 3 on the tree to floor shift 09 28 04 09 43 pm post 519486 in response to budnate just jack the car right up and chock it well you dont need to grind any of the floor out. My 1941 plymouth special deluxe came with one and.

If you put it on the floor and don t have a 4 speed 3 on the floor sounds stupid. Are these trannys junk and is there any way to convert it to a floor shifter or put a 4 speed in it. There is a godly quality to the study of big numbers. This is the most common transmission on vehicles from the late 1930s through the late 1960 s but could be found on vehicles as late as the 1980 s.

Big numbers like graham s number are impossibly big bigger than our universe. There are very few things in the world. 3 on the tree gear levers were made for the days when a family was around 6 or 7 people and were put up on the steering column so a bench seat could be fitted in the front of the car. This was the only car i owned with manual stick transmission and one of the few vehicles i regularly drove with such a shifter.

These days few cars have more than 4 or 5 in a family so bucket seats are fitted to the front of the car for more comfort and looks. I got the mr gasket set and a b m shifter universal cable for th400 the hole only needs to be bigger than the biggest diameter on the cable. From june 1978 to june 1979 i owned a well used 1966 plymouth belvedere ii with good old 3 on the tree and oil buring leaking slant i 6 under the hood. Tree 3 dwarfs big numbers like graham s number.

Floor shift always whether 3 or 4 speed or 5 or 6.
