i still don't know how to tell what car this come out of by the #'s.someone might be looking for it.it's PP833 2288 0009 and serial # is 8G177160.also how bad is the price affected by a shortened input shaft?
TIA for any info.

It came out of a '68 built in St. Louis. Nov 2, 1967 build (I'm not sure if that's the date the trans was built or if SPD of the car, but I suspect the trans).

The input shaft depends on whether it was just cut short or cut short and turned smaller to fit a GM (was quite common). You can run the cut down shaft with the pilot bearing that fits the crank snout. It will decrease the value some, though.

wouldn't that date of 2288 make it a 69.when i look it up it says nov.of 68.idk.the more i try to learn the more confused i get.lol.the shaft was just cut a little short.thanks jim

11/02/67 = transmission assembly date
12/13/67 = car's "scheduled" production date

if it has always been an 18-spline,
then it was from a HEMI Road Runner OR 440/HEMI GTX

RM21J8G
RS23L8G / RS23J8G
RS27L8G / RS27J8G

ok,got it.thanks dan

Ya gotta remember that production of '68 parts started in mid/late '67 so, in any model year, parts dated after late in a year are for the next year's model.

thanks for that info john.it's appreciated

2288 is not the 228th day of 1968

it's the 2288th day of the 10000 day calendar

that would explain a lot.thanks morty

No problem. It's that last 8 that threw you. If it had been built a week later 2295 you would have known it was a different kind of calendar.
