What transmission is in a 1983 Chevy truck?

A 1983 Chevy truck could have had several different transmissions, depending on the engine, trim level, and options selected. The most common were:

* 3-speed manual: A common and basic option.

* 4-speed manual: Also a fairly common option, offering more versatility.

* TH350 3-speed automatic: A very popular automatic transmission in GM trucks of that era.

* TH400 3-speed heavy-duty automatic: Used in heavier-duty trucks or those with larger engines.

To know for certain what transmission is in *a specific* 1983 Chevy truck, you'd need to check:

* The vehicle's identification number (VIN): Decoding the VIN can sometimes reveal transmission information.

* The truck's build sheet (if available): This will definitively list the options, including the transmission.

* The transmission itself: Look for markings on the transmission case.

Without knowing the specific truck, it's impossible to say definitively which transmission it has.
