Hudson 1923 Transmission

Looking for a rebuilt 1923 Hudson super 6 transmission. Was having a clutch issue and after a rebuilt clutch still having the issue 10min into driving. Wildrick did the rebuild and now says it may be the play in the transmission. I see about 1/8 inch movement. Trying to find a new rebuilt transmission. Does anyone know what other models might fit my 1923? Maybe there is a 4 speed out there? Did any of the later cars have interchangeable transmissions with the 1923? But most of all do you think the play in the shaft allows the clutch to bottom out against the flywheel making it unable to shift?

    1/8" is too much, but I doubt it would have any effect on the clutch. It is adjustable by shims on the rear shaft. of the transmission.

    Find a 1929 flywheel and all the parts to the 1929 gearbox. You will then have only 1 clutch plate.
