I just bought a '67 RS camaro that came with a 3 spd auto transmission. It seems a little worn out. I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find a good deal on a nice new automatic tranny. Do "powerglide" transmissions come cheap anywhere?

The only 3 spd automatic that originally came in a 67 was the TH400 (behind the 396). If that is what you have, I would have it rebuilt, or replace it with another TH400.
Used Powerglides have gotten a little pricey lately due to drag racers snapping them up. There are still millions of them around though.

Samuel,
I just pulled my Powerglide and all linkage, dipstick tube cross member from my '67 on Sunday. I am putting a TKO in it's place. It is a healthy, hard shifting tranny built for racing, but was pretty slow off the line with my 327 and 308 rear gears. About the most fun I had with it would be when somebody would pull up to race 'on the roll' somewhere between 30 and 55 mph. hehehehe. It always made me proud then... Let me know if it's something you'd be interested in.
