Tim, did you have to cut the length of the front shaft also? I have heard that just a little cut off and grind the splines like you did makes it shift correctly. The clutch you are using dhat pressure plate and throw out bearing works with that, and will this also work with a V-8 set up?
SORRY for so many questions but I am starting to do this on my '48 and i would like this tranny to be right the first time and not take it in and out. Thanx again, Mike
