Actually, I believe that was the first year with CIMs, though they had an integrated pinion, instead of the keyed shaft we're familiar with now.

And there were teams out there with an andymark transmission. (One team at least: 45 ), and there were multispeed transmissions of many varieties (in 2002 45 developed what would become the first iteration of what we now know as the andymark transmission).
