Seeing the recent discussion on Type A Overdrive I thought I’d take advantage of this great knowledge resource and ask opinions on restoring my street GT6 OD that failed last year (worn out basically) versus abandoning the triumph set up for a T9 retrofit while
still available.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What is anyone’s experience with regard to longevity of a Type A overdrive. This is my simplest, lower cost solution (about $800) versus the T9 swap at about $4000</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Additionally I need to get my Track Car also a GT6 up to snuff. I understand there may be an option of having someone restore and upgrade the current triumph 4 speed versus me purchasing the T9. In this case reliability and operability are more important
to me than keeping the car period correct. I can’t afford the time or money to repeatedly swap out a weak transmission that’s prone to failure like a stock box. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Advice and Opinions most welcome. <br>
<br>
<div>Thanks everyone </div>
