M20 = wide ratio
M21 = close ratio
So "close ratio" by inference references M21.Mark Edmondson

The answer is Yes for Muncie M21 model year 73/74. The Muncie M20 model, part number 6271516, is a wide rage transmission with a 2:52:1 first gear ratio. The M21 model, part number 6271518, has a 2:20:1 first gear. In late 1974 only, the Borg Warner M21 started to appear in Corvettes with 4-speeds and was part number 361658. It had a 2:43.1 first gear ratio and it too is considered a close-ratio transmission. The B/W M20, part No. 346359/361657, had a wide range 2:64:1 first gear.- Top
