definitely yes.  i put many thousands of miles on my 2nd '66 199/t96
with a '67 auto driveshaft and rear.  caused me hell looking for
u-joints - every possible drivetrain combo is different!  and i'd
forgotten about the swap by then too, but with a helpful counterman
and process of elimination i finally homed in on them.

" The old T-96 isn't designed to downshift for engine braking. It

" synchro doesn't last today -- people shift it like a modern

" "early" and let clutch out for engine braking. You have to think
" 40s-50s, and maybe grandma/pa driving.

i downshift all the time!  i never rush it and i almost always rev the
engine to match speed at least approximately, not things drivers today
are used to i'll grant.
