Well BCM community I need some help locating a part. Always on a bus right.  I lost second gear on my 8844 which I knew was in the future 3 years ago when the owner at that time showed me how to shift on his demonstration drive "just push the clutch move shifter till is stops grinding and let out the clutch" you could hear my teeth mash all the way back to Texas. On the way home I told this trans day we're numbered.  So now back to the future.  I have decided to change to an auto in case the wife might happen to won't to drive. I have access to most pieces I would like to find a nice pull out of a my 644 or 647 ( sorry I should have mentioned I have a MC 5 with 8v 71 )only a 600 series will work. Along the the trans the part that difficult to find is the adapter ring to the 600 trans Allison number 6881378. I can still get a flex ring from DD not Sure I like the price though. I would love to find a MC that they are parting out so I could purchase everything from the fly to the drop box
Hope someone can point me in the right direction
Thanks

A lot of the early Eagle model 10's had the 600 behind the 8v71 80 to 81 models they had the drop ring , spacer from sae 1 to the sae 2 bellhousing with the flywheel they didn't use a flex plate like the 740 then all you need is make the short drive shaft
