Okay, I just want to make sure I've got this down. The Spicer 3053 needs a
#3, the multifuel LDT-465-1D in my m35a2 has a #2 and needs an adaptor to
connect to the smaller #3 pattern on the transmission?

Just have to make sure. I've been hunting real hard for automatic
transmissions. I think I've found a Allison 6 speed with overdrive thats
decent. But I am also a world class tire kicker as far as ideas
go. ;) the Allison's .71:1 overdrive wouldn't be that bad either. ;)
