I have have a 1968 B Body 3 speed trans. no bell housing just the trans. Can't give this thing away as I tried to at the Fall Fling. Scrap metal ain't worth sh@t these days. Too heavy to toss to the curb for city trash to pick up.

So my plan is to tear it down and save things like the hardware and what not. My questions is:

Are there any 4 speed related parts in a 3 speed trans worth holding onto? I'm sick of tripping over this pig lol.

Thanks in advance.

Yes tear it down & save it cuz if you throw it away you will have a dire need for it within a month (it always happens!).

And I thought I was the only one with this dilemma! Only difference is mine is a '69 three speed.

I have a '67, 3 on da tree.

Me to, but mine came out of a 71 RR

The 1970 up A-230s are more desirable since they have mounting points for floor shifters.

I have a late model thats supposed to be the A230 with floor shifter.Been sitting in the garage since 2000.Never ran it and took it out of a 65 B body I bought that had a conversion setup.IIRC it has a hurst shifter.Cant sell it It will sit probally another 20 years.Rocky

Can you get photos of it Rocky?

Barry I might.Its at my old house.I posted the numbers from it once.that was a long time ago.Rocky

Well even though there's not a clear cut answer on my topic question, the writing's on the wall that this trans is junk and is going to the scrap.

I'll tear it apart and toss it out piece by piece. Here in Las Vegas, trash pick up is twice a week.

Maybe Doug would be happy to take it off your hands?

That is the light duty six cylinder three speed, so don't feel bad about tossing it
I have a medium duty, can't remember the model number now 3 speed that came out of my old 340 Space Duster with the floor shift, I need to dig it out and post it on here for sale

The input bearing retainer is possibly the same as a 4 speed.

Don't put it in a landfill! Recycle it. Isn't there a scrap dealer nearby? Or where do the auto shops get rid of their worn out parts? In my neighborhood there are two metal recycling places. They may not pay you for the iron scrap, but at least it's going to a new use. The city has a recycling setup as well.
There's also a woman who picks up scrap and sells it to feed her dogs.

I might be interested is the case and some of the internals if they are in good shape............

Came out of 1968 Plymouth Belvedere with a SB 273.

Thanks

Yes, but unless I get any return for my scrap loads it isn't worth the trip. I'm not going there just to get yelled at by the yard guys who think they're law enforcement. Plus the drama when collecting at the window. You'd think you were trying to collect an unemployment check. No thanks.

But thanks for your input.

Okay I will let you know when I tear it down, thanks.
