Thanks Denny Z

In my case the man with the gearbox and O/D unit also has the driveshaft (propshaft over here) so no probs. there - but I have chickened out on this conversion.

The costs FAR outweigh the savings I'll gain on petrol consumption etc.

Best regards and thanks to everyone who contibuted info. to this forum subject

If you swap out a '50 and back 3spd with a '50 and back 3sp O/D you shouldn't have to do anything, as the transmissions SHOULD be the same length. It's only when you use the longer '51-'54 transmissions that you run into problems.

If Chad (Greendragon) ever gets off his butt and brings me that bathtub o/d trans for my '48 I can verify this.
