wayfarerstranger Posted September 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 when ever will be fine .... a standard ply input shaft is around 8 1/2 " i`m hoping yours is around 12 1/2 " if it is i may be on to something if not oh well back to the drawing board .. again thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg g Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 The 56 trans input shaft is just over 8 inches long, the nose is about 2 1/2. the splines about the same and the balance going into the retainer bearing as 3 inches. I Don't know what has become of my 56 bell housing, either I stored it real good or sold it. Chance, one of the early "fixes" for leaky fluid drive impeller units was to drain them and weld the components together, rendering it basically a straight dry clutch three speed. Don't know if that might fit into your plans, but you might consider it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
