Long Tail T85, OD Transmission Interchange

[54stude]

I have both 56 and 57 t-85 short tail transmissions here, and the 56j version has a much shorter pilot bearing surface on the "main drive" than a 57-58 Studebaker version. I could measure the end of the "main drive" if people want me to.

The input shaft "main drive" is part number 458470 in a 56j, and part number 1540811 in 57-58 cars.

Also, all car versions from 56-58 use the same cluster gear part number 458455.

I have a long tail shaft T85 for a 1958 Packard Hawk , new in the original Studebaker crate for $1200.00 if anyone is interested.
I also have a T10 out of an Chevy powered Avanti with the bellhousing etc.
PM me if you need more info.
