Are you asking about the coupling shaft?

Since your AA has a 4-speed transmission, you need an AA-4802-B coupling shaft as shown in the picture below. What parts of this coupling shaft do you need?

Note that the coupling shaft shown in the post above (titled 28-29_coupling_shaft_146.jpeg) is for attachment behind a 3-speed transmission.

Neil, if you used the bearing retainer and u-joint that was used to put the 4-speed in the car would the 28-29
coupling shaft work with the 4-speed?

You would need to use the AA with 3-speed coupling shaft rear retainer and u-joint as well. This is the same set of parts to install a 1928-1929 Worfard or Dual High behind a 4-speed.

The 4-speed-in-A bearing retainer is slightly thicker than the corresponding AA bearing retainer (see picture). The A retainer is a very hard find.
