I have some paperwork from an &quot;expert&quot; that says that the yenko vega had a m-20. It also says on the dealer invoice that the car recieved a 4 speed transmission, option # 2HM20AA1. $51.00 option.

I thinnk you will find that M20 simply meant that the transmission was wide ratio unit but it could have been Saginaw or Muncie depending on application.

Tha 4 speed equipped Vegas used Saginaw transmissions . The clutches were cable operated . The bellhousings had a boss on the drivers side for the cable to seat in. The clutch fork pivoted on an adjustable ball stud , used for the clutch adjustment, located on the passenger side of the bell.

Tanks, That helps clear this up. I coudn't imagine that Chevrolet put an M-20- Muncie in the Yenko Vega.

looking at the Yenko Vega option list...
Yenko listed a 5 speed trans for the Vega but it says &quot;comming soon&quot;. Don't know if they ever had any of the 5 speeds as the Vega stuff didn't seem to do very well.
