All the M35s used in Ramblers were aluminum cased. My guess is Jag needed/wanted something a little tougher so a custom iron case was used with M35 guts. All the early BW trannys had a rear clutch, but from about 66 on they did away with it. Since the case is different they likely allowed for addition of an external cooler for performance and/or towing duties. There would have to be special provisions for the lock-up (D/D) torque converter too. Wonder if one of those would fit an AMC M35 bell? Of course finding an old Jag trans is probably harder than finding another M35!!
