Someone asked and I didn't know the answer so here goes:
In 61-62 was there only one 4 speed shifter for the fullsize cars? No corvettes.

Also was the muncie trans used as well as the Borg T10 4 speed or just the Borg?

If both were used did they use the same shifter?

For '61 & '62 full size, there was one shifter for the BW T-10. Corvettes also used the T-10 but with a different shifter, but I don't know if '61 & '62 Vette were the same.
The Muncie 4-spd came into production in early '63 production with a different shifter.

I might add that the 61 - 62 passenger shifter body was very much the same as the Vettes except the Vettes had a reverse lock out T handle integrated into the shorter straight shift handle.

Both had the same adjustment procedure which involved using a small block of wood with a notch cut in it to lock the shifter arms in the neutral gate.

Always thought those original small white shifter balls looked like ping-pong balls
