Classic Chevy Transmissions and Components

Your Chevrolet's transmission is what transfers power from the engine to the wheels. Depending on the driving conditions, it can generate more or fewer RPMs. Heavy wear and tear is often the culprit for a malfunctioning transmission. If your check engine light is on and you start to notice strange noises, burning smells, or leaking fluid, these may all be signs that you need to repair or replace your transmission.

One of the most commonly abused transmission components is the transmission shifter, the part that allows you to move between Park, Drive, Neutral, and Reverse. Most classic Chevrolet cars and trucks carry manual transmissions that do not use sensors to shift gears, as is the case with today's automatic transmissions. Classic Muscle offers all kinds of replacement shifters ranging from 3 to 4-speed, custom to the make and model. One of our 4-speed installation kits belongs to the 1969 Muncie 4 Speed. It comes complete with a chrome 7.5-inch length aluminum lever and white Hurst-branded shifter knob, true to the material specification from its time.

On the aesthetic side, our line of transmission shifter products also extends to shift lever knobs and levers to match the original aesthetic of 1955-1957 models. Other classic and vintage shift knobs include the 1965-1970 3 Speed 4 x 4 Gearshift knob with its heavily distinctive ribbed edging and flat, rounded styling for a comfortable grip.

You can also find model-specific cable and housing systems, such as the 69 Camaro Speedometer Cable & Housing for manual transmissions. This measures drive gear motion and feeds speed info to your vehicle's computer.

For any Chevrolet car or truck transmission parts, Classic Muscle carries a complete lineup, ranging from entire transmission rebuild components to shift knobs to stay true to original specifications.
