I wonder if some of the confusion might be that the BASE transmission for the SS-396 Chevelle those years was a HD 3-speed manual...console shifted...possibly a Warner trans? I'm quite sure that the 4-speed was an option...and could be had easily...as most went for the "four on the floor" option. I think I saw this in a GM ad in a magazine years ago. I actually saw a '66 SS-396 WITH the 3-speed...I was a young fella...and the car couldn't have been more than a year old at the time. I was scratching my head saying..."why didn't he go for the 4-speed?" I RODE IN A FRIEND'S 4-SPEED 1967 SS-396 Chevelle several times during the summer of 1967...it was a 325-hp....this I remember clearly!
