I assume it is the same as the big TRs. The OD transmissions have a longer transmission main shaft. Input shafts and drive shafts should be the same. In other words, you can swap a non OD for an OD and only have to worry about differences in the rear mount.

<div>Make sense?</div>

<div style="direction:ltr">I received a single rail j type over drive in my spares when I bought the car years ago and I never used. The previous owner used it some but then abandoned it because they could get used to switching back and forth in and out of

<div style="direction:ltr">My understanding was that these came from the factory with a longer input shaft and therefore needed a shorter drive shaft? My crude measurements appear that the overall length is the same and the input shafts are the same. The only
