I'm with Rusty on this one, the more I think about it, there's no way to squeeze more gears into the trans case. This is the reason why I was thinking of adding an overdrive unit to the back of the Ultramatic, no room to put it inside. HOWEVER, if the Mercedes gears are smaller and thinner than the Packard gears, then it's possible. But I think if that's the case, then the trans would be really weak, and the gears couldn't handle the torque of the Packard V8.

Thoughts?
