According to my Brit heritage doc, my BN7 440 came to SFO with a side shifter
but without OD. It now has a topshifter and OD. I acquired a spare side shift
tranny with the car with OD (I think).
anyone need a side shifter as is where is? It is at my Pleasanton, CA
apartment sitting as a porch ornament.

Jim,
Again, having a 'standard class' 3000, it didn't originally have OD. I've
since swapped in another side shifter with OD, but never bothered installing
a relay. I've driven it for 10 years, no problems that I can attribute to
not having a relay. I usually match revs and clutch when downshifting to
lessen the strain, but it's a fairly beefy unit. Triumph TR's had the same A
-type OD, and didn't use a throttle relay.
