Re: [TR] OD lubrication (score: 1): Author: Allen Hess <allenhess@mgcarclub.com>; Date: Thu, 14 Aug 2008 08:49:09 -0400; First, I have limited experience, but I rebuilt an A type two years ago and I think the best thing you can do is to change the oil frequently.

The "softer engagement" models were fitted to cars with IRS; apparently because the IRS couldn't deal with the "kick in the pants" delivered by the earlier units whe; /html/triumphs/2008-08/msg00276.html (7,525 bytes)

The torque on the IRS diff is countered by the mounts to the frame.

Re: [TR] OD lubrication (score: 1): Author: "Randall" <tr3driver@ca.rr.com>; Date: Thu, 14 Aug 2008 10:38:53 -0700; I agree, the solid axle transfers part of the force (both static and dynamic) into the rear suspension, which might not be the best place for it.

When the OD shifts, the engine speed must somehow match the wheels' roadspeed.

That's exactly why there is a _clutch_ in the overdrive instead of simply sliding gears like the transmission uses.
