two possible ways.... put the car on blocks, remove the wheels if it's
in the car and the engine runs...
another... as I did once.... use the PTO from a friends lawn tractor
to drive the tranny.... a battery to the solinoid...
see if the tail shaft speed changes. ... a bit hairy of a setup we rigged....
but it worked. (YMMV ....don't ry this at home kids... proceed at your own
risk.... yada yada yada....

Subject: OD Tranny
Is there an effective way to "bench test" an OD tranny? I have purchased
a parts car with an OD tranny so I can't drive the car to determine if
it works properly Inspection of the gears and synchros in the gearbox
is pretty straightforward thru removal of the side inspection cover but
I am at a loss as to determining whether the OD engages and disengages
properly.
