Its a manual, but how do I tell what was original transmission? Any ideas? 1973 C3 DARROW 02-22-2008, 08:19 PM What is your vin number do you have a build sheet?

Any ideas? 1973 C3 Muncie or B/W T-10 would be the trany your vette would have had. I would say your vette had the Muncie.

Who has this? Thanks I would check on ebay or some vette savlage yards and get everything you will need to do the swap. You will need the peddle assembley, linkage, Z-bar, bell housing,Fly-wheel, clutch fork, trany(duh:lol: ) shifter and linkage and shifter mounting plate, and maybe a 4spd crossmember. Also don't forget, you will need a diffrent driveline yoke for the manual trany. Its not a hard swap at all. vethead 03-06-2008, 10:47 PM There is a guy who has a company at, http://vettesbydesign.com/ who says he can put together an entire package of needed parts to swap from auto to manual. I have NEVER used the guy, just reporting that his company can take care of this kind of thing. gonesailing 03-11-2008, 07:48 AM I would check on ebay or some vette savlage yards and get everything you will need to do the swap.
