As a side bar story.. I have a pieced together TR6Â ('74) that sat for
10+ years.. mostly out doors. Blown head gasket, live mice included,
rotten interior and top, shade tree wiring for lighting, etc. etc. Well,
after getting it running and moved it to the lift I discovered it had an
A-type O/D, but no wiring, no solenoid, or stalk switch. Today's last
job is to get the rear end off the lift and see if it will engage it
manually. If yes the new owner wants it brought up to par... meaning I
have to undo the efforts made to the carpeting and all that goes with
rewiring and relays and... What fun! DaveP

A-type transmission (which was installed in my '74 TR6 when I
got it, many years ago), bit the dust. I have now swapped it
out for a rebuilt J-type from John Esposito at
Quantum Mechanics. Though the "new" transmission is now
installed (with necessary modifications to the rear mounting
bracket) mechanically, I have a few questions. I am wondering
if anyone else has changed from an A-type to a J-type. Among
my questions is: Since the J-type uses no overdrive relay,
what does one do with the wires that are presently connected
to the OD relay my A-type needed? Also, since the A-type
functions in 2nd, 3rd and fourth and the J-type only in 3rd
and fourth, what happens with the "extra" wires at the
interlock switches there?</div>
