Which PG input shaft?
Just installed a 1.96 gear set in a power glide transmission.
Planet looks like the factory 1.82 planet.
I need a turbo spline input shaft.
Since it's Sunday I cant call any manufactures, but would like to order one this evening.
So what is the opinions of which length input to use?
Unfortunately I have no idea as to the brand of the low gear set.

Take a look at your pump stator tube, see if it has a bushing. It makes a difference for which input shaft you'll need.

Mike thanks for the reminder.
I'm well aware of the need for the bushing in the stater support if not running a bushed converter.
Just looking for information on the correct length.
Don Kalina thank you for that measurement.

Unless you're a transmission guy, if I were you I'd put a 12 7/8 in it. I've looked at a lot of input shafts over the years, a 12 7/8 install, will be a matter of sliding it in. I've seen a few the ring journals partially cover the lube orifice in the tube.

A word to the wise.

FTI might be the faster shipper? Plus they keep a lot of stuff like Mike is showing.
