Tony-

The 3rd gear issue should be pretty easy since 4th gear works and it is the=
 same switch for both of them.  Sounds like the isolation switch just needs=
 to be threaded in slightly more so that the switch closes when in 3rd.  Sh=
ouldn't take much.

The 2nd gear could be the same issue IF you have an isolation switch instal=
led.. if the switch is missing it means the top cover has to come off and d=
isassembled to be able to drill and tap for a switch.  May not be worth it.

Possibly the wiring could be wrong for the 2nd gear setup though I can envi=
sion what that would take.  Probably worth taking the car up on the lift to=
 see if you can figure it out from below but most times the gearbox cover w=
ill come off for this kind of work.

Cheers

Subject: [TR] A-type OD questions

I have had my TR4A transmission converted to an A-type OD by  noted special=
ist, and the removal/installation service was done by a reputable shop.

I just got it back and the OD seems to work perfectly in 4th gear.

In Third, It will work for a short time, then goes out of OD.  It appears t=
hat it is related to the isolator switch.  If I gently push the shifter for=
ward, it stays in OD just fine.  If I pull it back slightly (still in 3rd),=
 it does out of OD, and when I push it slightly forward again, OD re-engage=
s.

In second gear, it does not ever engage OD. I did not see the transmission =
after the conversion, so I do not know IF there is a 2nd gear isolator swit=
ch.  But, I think there OUGHT to be..

I picked up the car at the end of last week, and I am sure the shops will m=
ake good on a perfectly functioning OD.  But I want to know if this is a si=
mple adjustment issue.  Maybe I can do it myself.  I can get the car on a l=
ift and do the work from below if it were feasible.

I would rather not pull the interior to access the top, but maybe it is nec=
essary.

Any advice/experience with this sort of issue?

-Tony

First off, 3rd and 4th gear use the same isolator switch but a different
actuator shoe on the shaft. It
could need to be a little tighter for third gear. OR sometimes the rubber
shift boot bunches up where
the shifter shaft hits in the front and doesn't go as far.
It also needs another switch for 2nd gear. Perhaps they used a tranny top
for a J OD which doesn't
have a switch for 2nd gear. OR the 2nd gear switch doesn't work.

is easy enough to adjust them but you will have to take the trans cover =
off to get to them, I don=E2=80=99t believe there is any way to do it =
from underneath. Your top cover may not have a the hole for a cut out =
switch, you would have to drill and tap it to install one. =
