   The 2 types of TR6 overdrive mainshaft are currently priced at 175 pound=
s which translates to $212 at current exchange rates. Overdrive Repair Serv=
ices. I=E2=80=99d guess that shipping would be around 50 bucks. The differe=
nce is in the size of the bearing in the input shaft which necessitates a d=
ifference in the nose of the mainshaft.
