I've been putting together a 3spd for a '37 sedan.

I have several other g/boxes in bits and noticed that the pickup ones have a spacer between the rear bearing and the U joint yoke.

The car trans is without this spacer , but it seems like it should have one, maybe 1/4" long?

I cannot find an exploded diagram to verify this , or any info that says how to remove the current end float in the output shaft.

Anyone done this ??
