1979 Skyhawk 5-speed--what trans IS

EEEEEP!

Were it not a '79, I'd be
demanding to know where you found it! :)

It's a
non-OD IIRC. I don't have my spec sheets handy. 3kRPM @
75MPH in 5th, I should hope. The gearing on the tranny
is really, ah, CRAP. It's a good tranny overall, I
would say, but it's not the *best*. It is a genuine GM
tranny, that was first offered in '75 or '76 on the V6
SkyHawk - read: DO NOT BOLT TO V8, YOU WILL BLOW IT UP.
I'd hang on to it - some of the Buick nuts like me
might have a need/want for it later. ;)
