Will a clutch and drive shaft from a 102 work in a 127?

Interesting question, please understand that I have never put a clutch in a hydro so I don't know what works and what doesn't, all I can do is provide you with some basic facts.
Providing I've measured the right drive shafts, your 127 shaft should be 17" from the front end to the back of the "T" that bolts to the rag joint (there is also a "tip" on the back end of the shaft that goes into the flange behind the rag joint).
A 102 drive shaft is 18 3/16" from one end to the other.
In order to use a clutch in your hydro you have to replace the drive flange on your 127 with a 3 pin driver from a gear drive. The back end of the shafts are also different, the gear drive has a tubular coupler and the hydro has a rag joint (ther rag joint is reduce the stress on the hydro input shaft and spiral pinl, from people slamming from forward to reverse...).
I'm thinking that you need to use a hydro drive shaft, with a 3 pin driver and clutch set-up installed on it. Basically all that would need to be done to the shaft is to have spiral pin holes drilled in the appropriate places and then put the clutch set-up on the shaft and bolt the clutch release arm and bracket onto the dash tower. Then hook up your linkage to the foot pedal cross shaft, you will probably need the "clutch and brake pedal arm" from a gear drive to put on your foot pedal cross shaft, so there is somewhere to attach your clutch release rod, but I think that leaves no place for your neutral return lever. You may have to fabricate an arm to go on your clutch pedal cross shaft that will "center" you forward reverse lever AND pull your clutch release rod.
So to answer your question, I don't know! I can tell you that the two shafts attach differently on the back and the hydro style should be used on a hydro.
