I have the 3 speed manual trans floor shift in my 61 Newport. This trans was used for a few years post the 60 French transmission. The shifter comes out of the side of the tunnel, and does not protrude through the console. In fact, it has a small metal perch built right on to the side of the tunnel, away from the console area upon which the shifter sits. It has a rubber boot which covers any opening with a thick rubber gasket which goes over the shifter arms/rods to prevent water and air infiltration. I have a spare shifter, gaskets, and a pedal assembly should anyone want photos. They also have a strange plate bolted to the floor on the underside as a linkage pivot with a reinforcement plate on the interior.

Cool information - please post as many pics here or in a new thread as you can - many of us are interested even if we don't own such a vehicle.

I know where there is/was a '64 4 speed convertible, not sure if reg 300 or letter car. In Wisconsin sitting in a barn. Was hit in the front and needs a full resto.

Where is it? might have been mine!

Hello, I am in search of production numbers of non letter car 64's with 4 speeds. Any one have that info?

And, to clarify, 64 and 65 are the only years a Chrysler (not Dodge or Plymouth) can be a 4 speed? No 66's, 67's etc.?

Neat thread,

Thank you, Geoff

Yes it was mine, I was involved in a head on collision, 7-21-1981. It was so violent, the tail shaft of the trans broke off!.. one fatality...
