Yes you can replace the 3sp manual with a 4sp manual in stock along with SS. So if you have a 265, 6Cyl comet or 6Cyl Nova you can run a 4 speed. Also for PG optioned stockers and SS can run three speed autos. The above mentioned combo's were just examples. Hope this helps.

Robert, I looked and do not see this in the rule book. Help me out and tell me where it is? I would think the three speed stick to four speed stick would be in alignment with the two speed to three speed auto accommodation.

It's a simple phone call, or email to Danny or Bruce will get the ball rolling. That's why I suggested it be done by Phil, as it directly effects him and his car, he can be specific with the combo that this relates to. It's clear on the auto trans, but not on the stick with the rule.

Seems clear enough to me:
TRANSMISSION, Manual OEM or NHRA-accepted aftermarket transmissions having same number of forward speeds (O.D. gear not required) as original, and reverse, may be used. All gear changes must result from direct action by the driver. Pneumatic, hydraulic, electric, etc. shifters prohibited. Floor-shift conversion kits permitted. Clutchless transmissions prohibited. Clutch must be used to change gears in a conventional manner. See General Regulations 2:12. It doesn't make sense to me that stick should be treated differently that automatic in this regard, so I wish you all luck in getting it changed. |

I will give Bob a call and find out what I need to do to get this under consideration. I did email him a couple weeks before I posted this thread but have not recieved a reply (email may have ended up in his spam folder). Car in question is a 62 Plymouth. From everything I have been able to find out Chrysler offered the B-W 3sp in 62 and 63 as their manual trans. I did read they were experimenting with different 4speeds those yrs with poor results. They developed their own 4sp (NP 833) and offered it in 64. I used a DNE in my 64 330 with a 4sp shifter and an additional 5th/rev lever. |
