transmission question
hello
i have a 70 LS5 with the 4 speed close ratio. but i am unsure about which transmission my car has. The transmission makes a loud howl in 1,2 and 3rd gear but not 4th. Would that be the M22 or do all the manual transmissions howl like that. the howl gets higher pitched and louder as the rpms climb too.
thanks
Jake

It is on the passenger side stamped into the trans. It will look something like this:
POB18A 70S40xxxxx
A=M20,
B=M21
C=M22
B18 = Feb 18
70S40xxxxx is a part of your VIN. You full VIN will be 194370S40xxxxx
My M20 makes a noise like that as I accelerate through the gears with no noise in 4th...never bothered me and never caused a problem. Same with the M20 on a previous vette.
