The '36 transmission had the forward tower and Ford updated the covers to accommodate the new position. Can I use a '36 cover in my '35? My '35 cover is really beat up, before doing a bunch of work on it the '36 seems like a simple solution.

That's exactly what I was planning to do if/when I put a '39 double detent shifter on my '35 transmission built with better 2nd & 3rd synchronized '46-'48 gears.
