This was the only car i owned with manual stick transmission and one of the few vehicles i regularly drove with such a shifter.
3 on the tree or 4 on the floor.
There is a godly quality to the study of big numbers.
I like it on the tree and on the floor depends on the vehicle for me.
Tree 3 dwarfs big numbers like graham s number.
Big numbers like graham s number are impossibly big bigger than our universe.
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.
My 1941 plymouth special deluxe came with one and.
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.
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.
Floor shift always whether 3 or 4 speed or 5 or 6.
In a way that means that understanding these numbers will help us understand something that goes beyond our universe.
The three on the tree column mounted manual transmission shifter was for a very long time the most common setup in american motor vehicles.
If you put it on the floor and don t have a 4 speed 3 on the floor sounds stupid.
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.

There are very few things in the world.

Are these trannys junk and is there any way to convert it to a floor shifter or put a 4 speed in it.
