Hi all.
A few months ago I posted a request for assistance on removing my overdrive=
and installing a new one. Many advised me to not do it or to remove the en=
tire transmission first. Me being the stubborm guy I am I didn't take that=
advice. I am happy to say that with a little thought and a ton of effort t=
he job is done. Of course being a British car with Lucas electrics I had o=
ther problems after I installed the new overdrive. It would work fine and =
then stop working and then start working again. The problem turned out to =
be a faulty overdrive relay. In the end the only part of the system I didn=
't change was the dashboard (fascia) and the gear shift lever switches. If =
anyone out there decides to switch out their overdrive feel free to consult=
with me. (DrBerkowitz@hotmail.com) It really wasn't such a nightmare. The=
trick was to raise the rear of the transmission in order to clear the unde=
r side mounts and then to lower it back down to clear the output shaft form=
the tranny. Just make sure you remove the throttle shaft from the firewal=
l (Scuttle) before you start raising and lowering the engine. The other pro=
blem was the new throttle switch couild not be adjusted to open until half =
throttle instead of 20% throttle. Easy fix was to bend the shaft that actua=
tes the switch.
Although my old overdrive functioned it hasn't functioned properly for abou=
t 20 years. The new one ( a rebuilt unit from Quantumechanics) operates lik=
e new. What a pleasure.
