OK, I need some help here. I'm trying to cover my bases here before I tear things apart. Does anyone have a '55-56 Ford transmission laying around that you can measure the diameter of the input shaft where it goes in the pilot bushing. How about the diameter of the input shaft where the splines are. The length of the input shaft from the end to the transmission case. I can find out all of this stuff when I get mine out but I'd rather have it done before I start so I can get the parts before I tear things down to shorten the down time. Another thing. I plan to bypass the governor so do I still have to have an overdrive relay? I under stand the solenoid used a different voltage to hold it in overdrive than it does to get it in and out of overdrive. Any help along these lines would be appreciated.
