Hello Everyone,

I'm wanting to verify that the transmission in the car is the same one it had when it rolled out of the factory. The car is a 72 Chevelle (L65) and was born with an M20 4 speed according to the build sheet. I have not had any luck finding the trans vin, but located the following:

Main Case Casting: 3925656; 0282; GM12
Extension Housing Casting: 326558; GM55
Front Bearing Retainer Casting: 3899621
Driver's Side Below Linkage: R2E11

A number here or there could be incorrect given the grime. If someone could point me to the vin location I'll see if I can track it down. Thanks in advance for the assistance.

David

It may be on top of the trans, it may be on the side... Looks like it's a Saginaw 4 speed.

R-Saginaw
2-1972
E-May
11- 11th day of May, 1972 Date trans was assembled.

Thanks Dave. Well so far so good. From what I've read, the Saginaw was the transmission put into the low powered vehicles and the L65 fits the bill. I guess I may have to wait until I pull the transmission to verify that the trans vin matches.
