The police package (9C1) B-body cars featured a First Gear Block Out (FGBO) Plate on the transmission housing to prevent drivetrain damage. The shift point for first to second gear is about 43 MPH (69 km/h) while second to third gear shift point is about 83 MPH (134 km/h) assuming a 3.08:1 differential and a 5,500 RPM engine speed limit.
The 2.2l S10/Sonoma had the starter located in the same position as front wheel drive cars. A rear wheel drive bellhousing is displayed at right, and the integrated front wheel drive bellhousing is displayed at the lower right (in this case, as a part of the GM 6T70 Transmission). GM 60-Degree 2.8/3.1/3.4/3.5/3.9 L V6 (also used by AMC) Buick ...
The "LS" nomenclature originally came from the Regular Production Option (RPO) code LS1, assigned to the first engine in the Gen III engine series. The LS nickname has since been used to refer generally to all Gen III and IV engines, [14] but that practice can be misleading, since not all engine RPO codes in those generations begin with LS. [15]
Changing the engine to a V6 often requires changing the bellhousing (Mitsubishi) but the Mazda trans had an integral bell. 2.6, 2.8, 2.9, and 2.9 Cosworth. Most of these were RWD car engines. Some had the same Mitsubishi manual transmission as the 2.0/2.3 but had different bellhousings. The 2.3, 2.8, and 2.9 also made it into the Ranger, and ...

The shift from 1st to 2nd or 2nd to 3rd range was long and drawn-out, ending with a harsh shift. The reason for this was that three things were happening. Not only was the transmission shifting to a very much higher range ( 2.93 to 1.56, but it was also simultaneously emptying the fluid coupling and making a mechanical lock-up.
