Sherman combo input shaft

[tachnem]

I picked up a sherman combo this morning with the 15 spline input shaft. Can I run it in my 52 8n by just swapping to the 10 spline input shaft? Any other mods necessary?

Anyone know where to get the 10 spline input shaft or if anyone would want to trade?

Thanks!

You have to swap out the hole nose cone with it. I might be interested it a trade send me an email.

I would buy a 15 spline clutch disk and that way have a new clutch so you kill 2 birds with one stone.

So if I were to get the following clutch kit I could run the 15 spline combo box in my 8n? And the input shaft length and the location of its splines would work in the 8n bellhousing?

Thanks for your help!

You can't change just the disk to the 15 spline. The nosecone is different for a different location on the throwout bearing and the clutch disk is in a different location because the flywheel is thicker. See picture. You have to swap nose cones and input shafts and stay with the 10 spline clutch and input.

Great info, thanks!

Thanks. It seems my PMs are disabled and I don't see an email address in your profile. Because I'm new I guess. Any other way to get ahold of you? Perhaps you are able to message me? Definitely interested.

Thanks,
