Well - yeah, if you want to do it the 'easy' way you can just look under the
car...(mutters and goes for more coffee).

Subject: Re: [Spits] OD checking
It's a whole lot easier to just look under the car - you can't miss
the O/D unit, it's not exactly petite. :-) As far as checks, I think
the most common problem is bad solenoids and/or wiring. With power
you should get a good click from the solenoid. They are tough units
though, and last a long time when bolted to as little hp and torque
as a Spitfire has. Essentially the same unit was used in 160hp Turbo Volvos.
The rear ends are usually the same in the US, in fact I swapped my
original one for one from my non-O/D parts car. You will need the
transmission mount from the O/D car too.
