I'm still at home, R&R after surgery. Email me- wcraig2@bham.rr.com. Also, I'm in Birmingham, AL if that helps; within earshot of I65.

You also might be able to find a manual trans out of a 55 Hudson, or a 56 Studebaker Golden Hawk. They also used the Packard motor. But it would be a shame to part out a Golden Hawk.

You won't find a manual transmission'ed '55 Hudson with a Packard V8 in it, they never made them. The '55-'57 Hashes used a torque tube drive, and they never spent the money to put a Packard V8 manual trans in those cars. Now, if it's a Hudson 308 in one, you could get a manual trans, but that's a different animal entirely.

A '56 GH is more rare than a manual trans '55-'56 Clipper.
