Not sure the R11 planetary would fit as the units are different mechanically and the R11 planetary assy has a different part number than the R9 version.

You can swap planetary assemblies but I believe it would have to be from an R9. You said your car is a Super Clipper. If you have the 2103 with the 356 engine your OD should have the 4 planetary setup from the factory. If it does not someone has probably swapped units or assemblies before. Does your OD have R9 or R9A-1 cast on the passenger side. The A-1 is the 4 planetary.

Have you tried Kanter for the parts? Other than finding a complete used assy he would probably be the best for individual pieces. There may be a couple of people here on the forum with units suitable for parting that might have the pieces. Once you determine exactly what you need a post in the wanted forum might bring some results.
