I've dealt indirectly with John Esposito at Quantum Mechanics in
Connectucut. I'd say he has, or at least can get anything for your TR OD
gearbox.

John apparently does a whole bunch of overdrive gearbox work. Runs an ad in
Hemmings every month. He has a full time job, so you have to call early
evenings, east coast time.
I'd ask him about the origin of any part, though. I know he has gone to
great lengths to source some parts, including making OD gearbox mainshafts
by cutting non-OD mainshafts, fabricating the additional splined section
and welding the three pieces together. Probably fine for a street car
but... ;-)
I know he's got someone stateside to re-line the OD clutch surfaces as well.
