Are the serial numbers different for OD's? I have just taken possession of a
transmission with an overdrive. It came out of a junkyard many years ago and
sat at a friends house. The tag the dealer put on it said it came from a
TR4a with 20,000 miles on it.  The serial number is on a plate on the OD
unit, says Laycock and has the numbers  22/61753/   009353. On the trans
unit are casting numbers  306812SM and V2947.

There are three switches on the top plate of the transmission, can anyone
tell me which one is for what?

And most importantly, will I have any trouble installing it to my TR3A with
a bullet nose starter?

Thanks,
Bob
