So, that would indicate the column shift transmission was not heavy duty - I don't know specifics for A body cars, does that mean a Saginaw transmission instead of an available Dearborn transmission?
edited to add: Interestingly, the link also has data on the Sprint OHC6, which had a three speed floor shift as standard.  |
Interesting (I just took a minute to look at the link);
The details page you linked definately shows that a three-on-the-tree is standard, yet on page 16 (
here) it shows a "Standard heavy-duty 3-speed with Hurst shifter..." middle colum, far left!?
This must have been a goof up on the part of PMD.
EDIT:, I just took a bit longer, it looks like that was the 2+2 options splash page;
The GTO one is on page 08-09 (
here), and it clearly shows that floor shifted three speed as being extra cost;
Still seems silly.
