have a tb400 trans here are the numbers if sombody could decode them for me. #30e05902 these are stamped in the side of the case drivers side edge above pan. tag on side of trans reads. 70-od (0d) 2993 tab any help is apreciated.
The longer number you gave is the cars VIN it came from. The E in The ViN indicates it was a Linden NJ built car.
In case you're wondering how Duane and Dave decoded the numbers: Tag: 70 = 1970 Model year O = Olds division D = Application 2993 = serial number for this model (OD) of transmission. VIN derivative: 3 = Olds division 0 = 1970 model year E = Linden, NJ final assembly plant (where the car was assembled, not the trans) 05902 = Car's sequence number, matches the VIN, should be 6 digits. An on-line reference (of questionable accuracy) I just checked says the 1970 "OD" TH-400 was used in Cutlasses (but not 442s) with 455. This might have included wagons. If it's important to you, I could research further.
thanks for all the info,just ran across it my shop thought it may have been a buick that sombody may have needed,you never know.
Cutlass was available with 455 in SX model. That is what it could be for. My brother is looking for one of those. Wish you were closer. He could make you an offer.
