Yes, keep the relay. That takes load off of your ignition switch and =
eliminates the need to remove and rewire all that.

You could move the top cover from you=E2=80=99re A type setup to your =
new J -type setup and retain all the switches. I have that on my J-type =
and I have 2nd-3rd-4th OD.

Subject: [TR] A-type to J-type !

Gentlemen ~

My 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?
=20
Yes, I have Dan Masters' book... His section on Overdrives is very brief =
(pages 99 and 100) and doesn't really mention swapping out procedures.
=20
Any help/insights on these and any other differences I may yet encounter =
that anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.
