    Maverick transmissions: c4 automatics, light duty 3 spd manual on the smaller sixes, and a heavier duty 3 spd. manual behind the 250 cid six and 302 V8s.

    I don't know if the Grabbers ever offered a four speed option?

    Anyone else?

    Manuals were severely limited to three-speeds. Four-speed toploaders and T-5's (5-speeds) are both popular swaps, and easily achievable, but are not factory.

    Right, the same 3 speed was used in everything from 6's to small blocks.

    It's called a type 3.03, I think that's it's first gear ratio.

    Nope, no North Amarican Maverick or Comet came with a 4 speed.

    That's interesting, Mavaholic--did the Brazilian Mav's come with four-speeds? I learned something new! :clap:
