I have a 1960 corvette and would like to put the correct trans . In it , would the correct trans . Have the cast ron case or the aluim. Case ........ Need help rick

 

Cast iron.

 

Editing and deleting this article because the information is apparently not correct and I don't want someone who searches by key words or just skims this thread to get incorrect information.

 

Cast iron case with aluminum tailhousing used until mid 1961 Corvette production.

 

100% incorrect. ALL 1957 -1960 Corvettes with RPO 685 (T-10 4 speed) had a cast iron main case.

 

1 snake : Thanks for the info . Serial # 00867s102743 early or late car ? Straight shifter or reverse lock out shifter ? Rick

 

I just copied and pasted it from a BW information article and thought I'd share it just in "case".

 

I would consider #2743 out of 10,261 an early car. Mine is #3714. 59-60 4 speed shifters had the reverse lock-out.

 

Thanks : ( 1 snake ) for the good info ..............rick

 

CORVETTE CALANDER SAYS : 2743 BUILT ( jan 20 1960 ) AND YOURS WAS BUILT ( FEB 13 1960 )

 

Completely wrong. This post clearly shows the problem of regurgitating internet information when you don't know the answer yourself.

 

This post shows what happens when you don't read the previous posts before you criticize someone trying to help. It's already been posted that the article was apparently incorrect. Some people just can't wait to say "completely wrong". I have a 60 and I saved that article about the T10 transmissions and shared for discussion to help get correct answers. I answer a lot of questions on the forum, mostly electrical or function. Sorry if one was incorrect. Rude posting something that has already been discussed is unnecessary.

 

You've helped dozens of people with complex C1/C2 electrical gremlins with aplomb and expertise -- you have nothing to apologize for...there is not a single person on here that hasn't gotten something wrong now and again... Don't let snarky posts dissuade you from the help you've been providing...
