Hi Guys
I have 65 and 77 transmission cases and neither one has the hole for the shift shaft lock screw like the earlier models. All my manuals and everything I have read indicates that was still how the shift shaft was retained. Both off theses cases are OEM. Can anyone shed any light on this issue.
Cheers

Re: Shift shaft lock screw
The '77 up shaft is retained with a "C" clip. Are you sure you have a '65 case? The number 65 cast into it isn't a date.

Re: Shift shaft lock screw
Thanks Robbie
Have gone to the new member section and introduced myself, not real good at this yet, but will learn.
100% correct, assumption is the Mother of all fu(^%ups and that's what I did. Date code is W 6820, which as you have pointed out is later model. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
