    C3 I can't find the vin or date stamp on my trany

    I've looked on both sides and I cant find the stampings
    they are supposed to be on the top passenger side edge and there's nothing there
    do I have a replacement trany? there's are the numbers I did find all castings
    front bearing cover 3915020,on the side 3851325 and 3088336
    and my bellhousing was 3899621 so I have a BB Bellhousing

    I did find the rear end stamping as well and they were 2FB42469W
    so I have a 4:11 rear for a BB

    I've found some of your casting numbers in Colvin's book. The 3915020 looks like a 1968/1969 Front Bearing Retainer. The 3851325 looks like a 1965 Maincase. Both for a Muncie 4-speed. I'm not sure about the bellhousing or the 3088336. I think you're correct about the differential.

    To answer your question about the replacement transmission. Sounds very likely. Depending on how dirty the parts are, you may want to get some cleaner/degreaser and double-check to see if there are any numbers that you missed.

    I could be wrong about the PN decoding, so hopefully, the more experienced members will correct me.

      The 325 case is a dead giveaway, 1964-65 usage ONLY.
