>From what I've learned through my ongoing search for a D-type overdrive for
my Mk 1 Spitfire it seems to be a good deal . Most people or suppliers don't
have , are not willing to sell or want much more for the overdrive unit
alone ( maybe it's just applicable to the d-type overdrive ) . Take
everything you are able to : overdrive unit , tranny , bellhousing , main
shaft , drive shaft , rear mountings , relay unit , speedo cable , switches
and wiring .
If you ever stumble upon an early Spitfire please keep in mind that I'm
looking for the following in the same price range :
1) D type o/d unit ( complete with solenoid , inhibitor switch and angle
drive ) pulled from Mk 1 , 2 or 3 o/d gearbox .
2) Complete mainshaft pulled from Mk 1 , 2 or 3 o/d gearbox .
3) Overdrive relay unit .
4) Overdrive scroll / script badge for boot / trunk .
5) Adapter plate
6) Overdrive switch ( steering column stalk and special cowling )
7) longer speedo cable
8) Rear mountings
Best wishes

Subject: OD
A local junkyard has a 1500 Spit (I guess a '77) with an OD tranny. They are
asking $150 for the trans if I pull it myself. Does that sound reasonable?
What tests/checks can I perform with it still in the car, but an engine that
does not run (no dizzy, no radiator)?
I will pull the trans, driveshaft, and trans mount. Did I forget anything?
The car still has the air pump on - anyone needs one? I can pull it if you
can tell me how to test it and how much I should pay for it.
