[Fot] J-type vs. A-type OD's

[Jack Brooks]

Chris,

Thanks for sharing your experience.  Your steel work reminds me of the angle
iron holding my tranny lip, where the clutch solenoid attaches.  Whoever had
this tranny before me did something wrong and broke that section of lip off,
the part where the solenoid attaches.  A bit of small angle resolved the
issue for the past 10+ years.

Hi,

I swapped OD from A to J during the season.
It was really not much trouble.
I made a little frame for the J-OD.
The mainshaft was no problem either.

But, the A OD seems to be the more quick shifting one.

Cheers

Thanks for the great responses guys.

I have an OD in my street/AutoX TR3 and I have several TR4 non-OD trannies.
I'd really like a fully syncro OD in my TR3, but it seems like the J-type is
not the (easy) way to go.  For some reason, I thought it was a near bolt-on
and that I would be swapping out a mainshaft.  <rolls eyes>

So, just for grins, what is the ball park street value for a J-type OD?
I've committed to buying an inexpensive J-type that was ordered from Rimmers
about 10 years ago and is still wrapped in plastic in the crate.

Gents,



I believe a J-type OD be swapped onto a TR3 or TR4 in place of an A-type.
If I am correct, is it simple or a lot of work?

Thanks in advance,


Jack
