it will work, you have to change the tailshaft housing...takes 5 minutes and then the gear selector shaft...about 20 minutes

The second servo, unless it was changed, will not be corvette style and should be changed. Also when you change the tail housing, there is a slip yoke seal on the output shaft to remove. Reason is that one yoke is vented and the other is not.
