    Any one have a spare transmission cover for a short wheelbase stepdown?
    Will be at Pigeon Forge or if it is available below the Mason Dixon line and east of the Mississippi River, let me know. Thanks, Bob P.

    Could be wrong, Bob, but isn't the tranny covers all the same regardless of junior or senior cars? The difference is from the firewall forward, so isn't the tranny covers identical?

    The short wheelbase firewall has a 3" indentation for the motor to sit back , thus the transmission cover is different from LWB version. Accelerator pedal linkage works differently on SWB too, and it is mounted on the transmission cover.

    Good information. There is no end to Hudson education.

    Thanks, Lee

    I have a short wheelbase floor pan if you can't find one. But I'm up near St' Louis ,

    Bob, stepdown trans covers are the same-48-52,52-54. The difference is if the trans is Overdrive and also if the trans is a single lever or double lever. the accel linkage doesn't mount to the trans at all. The cover for a trans without O/Dr.[-48-52]-,has a different baffle for the oil to lube it properly. The bell-housings are different for early and late cars-47-and earlier,the single lever-48-52, and then the bell-housing is different for the T-86 e . Hope this helps, CG

    Guess I need to re-describe what we are looking for.

    We need a short wheelbase floor cover that fits over the transmission in a stepdown. It also covers the overdrive, the bellhousing, the clutch linkage, and many other parts. Sorry for the confusion. Bob
