I got a Chevy, 9 inch tailshaft transmission. With the 9 inch the overall transmission length seems to be about the same as the old Slim Jim. The driveshaft should be about 1/2 to 3/4 shorter that the original which allows for the adaptor thickness. I had a new driveshaft made as I thought the rubber shock absorber in the old drive shaft should go.

For shift linkage a Lokar ACA-1800 works fine.


And a Lokar KD-2350U works for the kickdown. We used the old TV linkage mounted on the rear of the head. May still need a little adjustment as the slide slot is to long for the short throw on the lever.
