I converted my non-OD TR2 box to overdrive some years ago. I found that the
overdrive mainshaft was much shorter than the non-OD shaft, and the splines
at the output end of the shaft were smaller. The splines on the OD shaft fit
into the planetary gear assembly, while the splines on the non-OD shaft fit
into the flange that connects to the propshaft.
I just measured the gearbox extension from the non-OD configuration, and it
is about 12-3/4" long. The non-OD mainshaft should protrude about that
distance from the gearbox casing, give or take an inch. The OD mainshaft
would be several inches shorter, at least.
