Hi Ian,
I'd certainly be interested in it, as I have an OD-less early TR6, but I think
the cost of shipping might be prohibitive given you're probably in the states,
and I'm in Australia. I'm pretty sure you won't have any problems selling the
overdrive, even if it is disassembled provided all the unobtanium bits are
still there...

Subject: [TR] Overdrive
The recent overdrive thread got me thinking again about what I want to do with
my non-OD TR4. About 3 years ago I bought an "A" OD TR6 box with the intent
of overhauling it myself. I completely disassembled it to find that it
appears to be in pretty good condition. Time was spent time on eBay sourcing
some items such as main bearings, solenoid, harness etc, but it still needs
some parts to be replaced. Then life got in the way and as my current box is
still running well my motivation was to drive it rather than work on it (too
much). This weekend, I noticed that my clutch bite point is getting very
high, so I suspect that a transmission pull is coming soon to change the
clutch.
I had OD on my TR4 and TR5 back in the day and loved it, but I am also
thinking about going the 5-speed route. I think that I have heard all the
arguments both ways and just need to make up my mind; cost is obviously a
factor. If I go the latter, then I would like to gauge interest in a
disassembled OD unit before I put it on eBay.
