Yes, there is a santa claus...they did make 3 syncro overdrives. If it is a 3
main you'll have to deal with the input shaft differences...including the
fact that it uses a different clutch plate than the 5 main. Easy fix is to
get a trans man to retrofit a 5 main 3 syncro input shaft into the 3main box,
then it'll bolt up to any 5 main motor you have....
