[Fot] A-Type Overdrive Testing

[tr4racing at googlemail.com]

Hi Dave,

 

The OD can turn backwards, if one of the OD cone clutches are engaged.

If the OD is in transfer stage between the cone clutches so that the roller clutch is engaged, then the OD explodes when turning backwards.

 

BUT if on a spin the wheels are locked, the OD is never in danger to turn backwards because the wheels need to be locked until stand still.

 

Cheers

Chris

Speaking of spinning the OD backwards, which it won’t do, what happens if you spin the car while overdrive is engaged?   Probably my biggest concern for running one of these in a race car...   I was thinking I’d use it on track and maybe autocross, but I think that is ill advised now that I bring up that question.   Has anyone ever spun and rolled backwards, with OD engaged?
