Can anyone provide information about retro-fitting an overdrive unit into 
a late model MGB?  According to Lindsay Porter & Dave Pollard's book:  
"Improve & Modify MGB", you must also change the driveshaft to accomodate 
the change in longitudinal position of the splines (p. 161 mu19.4).  Can 
anyone explain a little bit better what this means?  Also, what other 
modifications are needed to install an overdrive unit (wiring changes, 
etc...).  Are the top-end benefits worth the efforts?
  
  
Thanks,  

Don
