Quickchange, Im not positive but I think there was someting a few months ago that the overdrive was made for AA now. I have had the 26.7 % since January 2003 in my 31 tudor, that is the reason it got my attention. have fun modelAtony Lafayette,la

it can be done. I saw one in a 29 AA Panel Delivery and another in a 30 Milk Delivery Flatbed. Mitchell will need some measurements from you to fab it.

Mitchell ALREADY sells an overdrive unit for the AA. I have talked to her and got the details and pricing about an year ago.

I have a 29"AA" truck with a dual high axillary transmission. The stock set up is actually an under drive. I thought about swapping the axillary transmission end for end. It be interesting to hear comments about this idea.

I seem to recall someone tried that, but he said it was very noisey due to spur gears.
