Re: 1947 R9 Overdrive

OK, let's go back up to the question of whether the 3 gear planetary is interchangeable with the 4 gear planetary. R9. I have just visually compared them and they look pretty darn near same to me. Tell me where to check with the micrometer and I will. Maybe the outer sleeve (cage) is different? I DON"T KNOW.
What is really perplexing, subject to our poster updating the data, is that he has registered his car as a 2151(Custom Super 356"), and yet he has a 3 gear planetary in hand. Well maybe it has 3 gears because the 4th has gone super nova - point being, the 4 gear planetary was exclusive to the 356/senior/R9A overdrive. Maybe that's why if there was a 3 gear it failed?
Anyway, point being, I have a good used 4 gear - awaiting more info, details, pictures, comments, questions. I am not an overdrive mechanic. Parts hound, yes....Mechanic, NO.
And Howard...just what recollection do you have putting a 3 gear in an R9A?
