Hello.

I'm a new user at this forum, and my english probably sucks, but i hope you'll understand at least some of it. :? I wanted to introduce my car, which is build at this outfit about late '70's or at least early '80's.

This is the car:

First question comes now; is this mopar transmission's gear chart:

My friend told me, that the gear box might be from volvo. :shock:

Thanks already, Mika from Finland.

Welcome here.

That is definitely not a Mopar transmission shift pattern. It's difficult to imagine a Volvo transmission being readily adapted to a slant-6 engine, and most Volvo manual transmissions were 4-speed starting in the early 1960s.

Ok. I forgot to mention, that the shift stick is changed from steering column to the floor. Does that make any difference? Or any guess, what car transmission might be from?

Previous owner might have just converted to a floor shift.
