- I am going to pull my engine and transmission from my 66 MGB this summer for a complete rebuild. I am considering installing an overdrive which it does not currently have. From time to time I see ove

- When this question has been asked in this forum the consensus has been that while it is possible to add an overdrive unit to the rear end of a standard tranny it is damn hard. Better to get an OD tra

- A Mk1 66 (3-synchro gearbox) originally had the D-type overdrive as an option, whereas in 67 the MkIIs (4-synchro gearbox) got the later LH-type. The later one will probably not fit the earlier gearb
