I presently have a 4 speed transmission in my Super Bee. While trying to sell my car a man said he had my original Hemi 4 speed on his bench ready to go into his hemi GTX;

To make a long story short I found a transmission and the man is going to swap me for my original. So this transmission in my car has a vin of OB226237. I know the 0 means 70 and the B means Hamtramck, Michigan. I know the plant made Chargers, Cuda, Challengers, etc. , and I thought I would see if anyone knows how to match the tranny in my car with someones Vin.
The tranny that came with the Super Bee is an 18 spline 4 speed. And the one in my car may be an 18 also (haven't pulled it yet). If so it could belong to a hemi or six pack car .
Anyway, shooting in the dark.

They did not make any Chargers at Hamtramck in 1970. It was A and E bodies only.

All 1970 chargers were made in St Louis, MO
 
I see that now, thanks. Guess I'll head towards the A and E bodies pages. Thanks again...

A-body would have a short tailshaft, not the long tailshaft found in E or B.
 
All 1970 B or E body cars with a U code 440 Magnum,V code 440 Sixpack/6 Barrel,or R code 426 Hemi engine would have come with the 18 spline heavy duty 4 speed transmission,if they were equipped with a manual transmission. Assuming the transmission you have is an 18 spline transmission,it most likely came from a Challenger R/T,or a Cuda.
