Do you have any idea if the hydramatic you are talking about was the same basic transmission as the one in the M135-211 series (that had a 2 range unit added to the transmission rather than the more common 2 speed transfer case set-up)? It might be another source of parts....

Hi Grant, I think probably the same basic transmission. I have seen the trans in the old 3102 GM bus and they look the same. I haven’t had the opportunity to look at a m135 so I can’t say for sure.

And Bob, the newer 230/250/292 engines used either a turbo 350 or 400 automatic transmission. The turbo 350 can be had with a short 6 inch tail housing but if I recall it is still a couple of inches longer than a cast iron powerglide. This transmission was common up to about 1980 in midsize GM cars that had Chevy engines.

I had the same problem with my feet so I obtained these. I have sold my Cab 12 and I no longer need them.

I took these left and right inners to the Corowa Swim-In and no one wanted then so I brought them home. Might save butchering another pair or change yours and keep these for returning to original later.

Postage might be a problem but there are here if wanted $15.00 each plus freight.
