My spare transmission is marked 48-7006 That one had a straight tower,which somebody installed in the car.Just the cover,not the whole trans.Both the cover and spare trans have the same odd red paint on them.The transmission in the car,matches the frame number.The slant tower I have LOOKS like it came out of the car,but you never know.I strongly suspect that it did come from the car because it has the same kind of gravel stuck in the grease.Also,the shifter is wobbling around in the tower,and that would have been a good reason to change it.Mostly I wanted to know what tower was used because I have to find a tunnel for the car.A couple of guys have asked me which tower I had,so I figured I would just go with the original.
