Three speed transmissions are foreign to me so here are my questions. Did AMC use the same 3 speed behind a 6 cyl as it did the V-8's (360 too?). What would be the correct 3 speed for a 71? Did they change over the years like they did with automatics or were they like 4 speeds and only made minor modifications throughout the years? I would like to restore this rare car but I am not completely against a few minor deviations in originality.

You Rat!

I've been looking for a three speed SC/360 for a long time.

Anyway, the correct tranny would be the Borg-Warner T-15, which is a heavy duty all syncro tranny. They were used by AMC behind 304 & 360 engines from about 1968 thru about 1974. The trannys can be identified by an 8-bolt top cover. 

I have a T-15 that came out of a 1970 Javelin. Tranny comes complete with AMC 3-speed floor shifter from the same car (which I presume would be the correct shifter for your application, as well.

If you are interested, contact me off the the list.
