If the output flange is the small bolt pattern of your Spitfire driveshaft,
it's an early trans with 3-synchros.
The original 4-speed non-od driveshaft won't work.
You'll need a shorter one.
Advise you not to shorten your present one in case you want to re-install the
4-speed. Get another driveshaft first.
You'll also need a different rear transmission frame mount....
