[Amc-list] do it yourself T14 OD!

[Tom Jennings <tomj@xxxxxxx>]

OH MAN it's close!!! It pays to be a little bit nuts...

So I have my T-96 OD all apart and spotlessly clean.

Pulled the T-14 out of the pile, plunked it on the bench,
and pulled it's tail housing off.

The Borg Warner R-10 overdrive adapter from a T-96 will BOLT
ONTO the T-14 case except for two little details:

* The trans case rear is bored to accept the adapter (which
  accepts the output bearing), about 1/2" larger

* The OD-reverse-lockout (shift trans into R, block OD)
  won't work.


It would need two additional stock parts:

* T-14 OD output (main) shaft & bearing.


I really think that is all that's needed. I could *almost* bore
the case hole larger myself with my mill-drill, but I'd rather
pay someone to do that right. I didn't study the reverse-lockout
thing at all, maybe it could be adapted, but worst-case, cut
the end of the OD shift rod off.

I'm gonna complete the rebuild of my T-96 + OD, but since I
have a spare T-96 + OD (torque tube, non-Twin Stick) I may
persue this as a side project.
