tranmission #'s

[Rick Garrett]

Can anyone clarify what these numbers mean in a 71 Ls-5..

Driver side cover -952648

Driver side tag-981710WY

Pass side -3925661

Pass side patent-30883356

Pass side rear-10 P1A21B (I found that p=muncie hd 4 sp, 1=1971, a21=jan 21, b=m21 close ratio) but what does the 10 signify?

Pass side pad-C11S108586 (the serial number matches engine pad and vin) what does c11 mean?

thanks

Rick,

I can only help a little.

Regarding the "C11" proceeding the VIN on the passenger's side pad: I don't know what the "C" stands for, but the first "1" stands for Chevrolet and the second "1" stands for 1971 (like in your VIN).

Good luck with the other Q's.

John is correct - additionally the C also stands for Chevrolet. I have no Idea what the number in front of the PXXXX stands for. I have never seen a number stamped in front of the transmission assembly number.

However, since the VIN derevitave matches your car - be happy.
