There were several transmission options. A four-speed manual was optional, replacing the base three-speed. The two-speed “Powerglide”automatic transmission was a popular option in 1967 and 1968 until the three-speed “Turbo Hydra-Matic 350” automatic became available starting in 1969. The larger Turbo 400 three-speed automatic was an option on SS396 cars.
