There were several upgrades to take care of the clutch gear jumping out of gear. In 1953, a revised clutch gear and main shaft was used with double set of needle bearings to eliminate this issue. Try looking for a good used 53 or 54 transmission for a direct fit. I assume you are still closed driveshaft correct?
