    Thanks, Someone on this board suggested looking for information on the studebaker website, which is what I did. I went to this site www.studegarage.com/overdrive.htm. I left the reverse fork in place and had the shifter fork cut down so as not to rub against it. Hopefully if I ever get the car back together it will work as it is suppose to. I had to take it back out, because it would not line up with the clutch assembly. Unfortunately I used a clutch tool NOT A HUDSON ONE so it does not go in correctly. Have not be able to find one locally. A few here have suggested the clutch alignment tool is not needed, but not having much luck without it. This setup prevents you from mating the engine and tranny outside the car and putting it in as one unit. Always something right. I do not know if this would work with the T96 tranny as it has a 4 bolt cover and it looks wider, but others more experienced than me may be able to help.

    I'm sure that the right tool is kicking around somewhere in the Washington-Baltimore area, Herman, and I'm sure we can find you one. However, my engine / transmission skills are somewhat lacking so I"m not sure which tool this is. If you can explain it to a novice, we may be able to see who has one.

    If you are looking for the clutch alignment tool ,basicly a input shaft from a transmission .I can loan you one if you want to pay the shipping and a deposit,

    Its heavy but I think I can get it in a flat rate pouch wich is about $5-6.00 . And maybe $15.00 mor to make sure it comes back (deposit). I would of course refund the deposit when it returned,
