    George,
    Those markings would have been used by Fisher Body to build the shell.

    I'm thinking,
    "MT" stands for manual trans, as they are next to each other
    "C" for clutch, so they knew which pedal assembly to use
    "Z" for z-bar
    But then again I am just guessing. Sounds good though doesn't it.

    George,
    I recall reading somewhere that Pontiac division didn't have a suitable heavy duty 3 speed for the GTO so they sourced from Ford. The same Buick part number for the complete 3 speed transmission is also listed in the Pontiac parts book and labelled as "Deerborn" model, i.e. Ford. Same part number was used from 65-69, maybe more years. Also the 67 Buick chassis manual has a separate section for the GS400 3 speed manual transmission.

    John,Dearborn model is probably the DB code on my protecto plate,the Olds 442 also used this trans fro 65-69 and thats where i got my info from,its really too bad the 3 speed trans is not in there anymore.

    Thanks

    George I had a 68 GS400 3 speed that had a Ford trans. I heard they used it due to a fire at the saginaw plant in 67?

    George.....There are 14 people named "R. Navarro" in Indiana. I looked up the address 4116 Edgemere Ct and nobody named Navarro lives there. Looks like there are three separate residences at that address. Do you have a first name on him? If not, looks like you got 14 calls to make. :laugh:
