    3.5 turns Saginaw box

    Currently I have 4.25 turns Saginaw box in my 40, and I hate it .. So sloppy and floaty-like. I would like to go with 3.5 turns instead but can't be sure of the correct part number. It should be 4 bolts and 13/16 input shaft size. any help with the correct part number would be appreciated.
