So two questions, is overdrive a significant improvement?
If it is,  what would I expect to spend if I pieced it together myself instead
of  getting the whole kit from John?  Thanks


Darcy,
 
Overdrive in a TR6 if you do highway cruising at 65 MPH or higher is  the 
best thing since sliced bread. Once you have it you will never want to go  back.  
On grey roads with twists and turns, hills and valleys, you can  use the 
column switch to go into OD from third gear avoiding the  shift to fourth keeping 
the revs nice and constant which is very cool and  lots of fun. It would be 
false economy in my opinion not to convert to OD  now with your gearbox on the 
bench.  Going back later will be more $ I  bet.  That being said I have no 
opinion on the kit from John since I have  not dealt with him.


Cheers,
Darrell
