I just experienced the same thing but with an J-Type.
You have to remove the transmission in order to get the overdrive in. Also,
you need to replace the main shaft. Another words...take it apart. I got my
transmission rebuilt and also replaced the clutch. You might as well replace
the clutch because you do not want to go through this again. You should do
this, oh...once in lifetime, in my opinion. It's a back breaking job.
To answer you question about the handbrake...No you do not have to remove
it, just pull it up as much as possible but not forcing it.
Good luck,
Patrick

Subject: A type overdrive
Listers,
I have two questions regarding A overdrives.
1) In practical terms does it make any difference if the overdrive has a
gear
reduction 22% or 28% when being installed on a TR6.
2) Can the overdrive transmission be installed without removing the
emergency
brake handle? (It was dicey to get around with the regular trans.
As always thanks for your help and advice.
