Re: TR6 overdrive.

Hey James, and All,

 Ah, James brings up a very good point, the leak rate.  If the leak rate is 
low, the pressure will biuld up quickly, I think?!  Also I wonder if using 90wt 
gear oil helps with keeping the leak rate low and/or building pressure?  As I 
said when I first posted this, I have a self taught knowledge of the OD, so I 
did expect people to be able to shoot this one down.

 Thanks for all the replies.

Later,

The pressure should build up almost instantly, because you should have
nothing to compress.  There for you'll get 400 psi almost instantly. 
All the pump needs to do is to supply enough oil to fill the pistons in
the o/d.  You also need to supply enough to compensate for the leak
rate.
