I had a failure exactly like this on my stock 1966 110hp Monza (at maybe 40,00 miles)-- many years ago. I think cylinder #5. Don't know why, probably just inferior part.

In rebuilding the entire shifter assembly (coupler, bushings, etc) on a 1966 LM 4 speed one of the last steps is to clamp the shifter shaft (rod) to the coupler shaft.

On my Body Tag are: "5Y" and "W". Also above the Y-Y paint code is "755". To the right of TR is "795-Z" Please decode.

I understand that the head can be removed with the engine in the car. So do I need to remove BOTH the long AND SHORT carb studs to do so (on my 140 HP)?

I had the same problem trying to drain (suction with 1/2" tube) the oil from my 66 Corsa 4 speed transmission.

Just to clarify, on the LMs the (4 spd) transmission and differential share oil -- and both have fill plugs but no drain plugs. Correct?
