    transmission decode

    correct me if i am wrong, from what i can tell it says that the transmission came from a 67 wildcat, electra or riviera, . but what kind of transmission is it?

    that list only decodes TH-400's. so you've got a Turbo-Hydramatic 400 or a Switch-Pitch 400, i'm not certain which.

    the "BT" code must only apply to the internals ( or maybe the length? ), because the 1965 Nailhead transmissions most certainly did not have the same bellhousing as the 67 and up stuff.

    Hi, according to the 67' shop manual BT67 should be a ST400 (auto 3speeds front/switchpitch) from the cars you said but should come with a Big Block 430.... Is that what you have? the other digits are the serial number. 4/67 should be Buick division/1967.
    If I remember you have a 340 engine, may more experienced fellows tell you if this ST400 could bolt right on it.

    I was told it was a 2 speed power glide

    Partsman is decoding it as a Switch-Pitch 400.

    does it look like one of these transmissions here?
    http://www.teambuick.com/reference/ident_automatic.php :


    those are ( from L-R ) a BOP short tail TH-400, a BOP long tail TH-400 and a Chevy pattern TH-350.

    Hi, maybe you have the whole drivetrain 430/ST400 from a Riv' or so, rather than a 455/powerglide ??
    Do you have 2 or 3 forward speeds ??
