Re: Violent shake.
I am in agreement with alchemy. Seem like correcting the brokeback pinion angle could not hurt.

Re: Violent shake.
I haven't changed the rear end. A guy just doesn't know what has been done by others in the past.

Re: Violent shake.
Yes the problem was the reason for changing the clutch parts. Turns out the clutch was not the problem.

Got lucky.
I found the negative cable to the starter with a bare spot on it to the front cross member on a sharp piece. If it had been the positive cable the car would have burned down. I'm planning on...

Yes it's a 1950 ford custom. I used an alignment tool on the new clutch. I was thinking as you guys say bellhousing first then trans. Just getting to the top housing bolts with the trans out is hard...

Re: Overdrive trans.
The unit have looks like the first picture you posted. I plan on looking at it closer tomorrow.
The splines on the front are correct for the clutch plate.

Re: Overdrive trans.
38 coupe is correct. I bought an overdrive I found on market place its an r10. The rear trans mount is about 1 inch rearward of the mount on my 50 ford custom. Don't know how or if I can use it....

Re: Overdrive trans.
I found 2 more OD transmission close by. Ad says they are 50/53 .
That means they would be 6V. Question will 6V solenoid work on a 12V system like a starter.
