<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are suffering what seems to be strange
transmission / overdrive problem or clutch slippage.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A few months ago, we finished restoring my
1962 Tricarb BT7. Before the restoration the overdrive was
operational. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On initial test runs, the car run fine but
the overdrive did not work. On further tests and suddenly,
when disengaging the clutch on any gear, the car revved but
didn´t move. No smell of burning clutch, just slippage <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The transmission and clutch were removed
from the car. The clutch was redone, adjusted and tested. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Problem momentarily solved but overdrive
still nonoperational. After further tests the same slippage
problem appeared again. Transmission and clutch were removed,
revised and installed. The seals on the overdrive were changed
but my mechanic preferred to temporarily disconnect it
(electricity cut off).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Problem solved…momentarily. Now when
engaging second gear, the RPMs drop a little like if the
overdrive activates even though is disconnected (this only
happens in second gear). After driving a few miles we get the
same slippage (the engine revs but car won´t move) only when
engaging reverse. If the engine is turned off and then on,
then reverse works.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any thoughts?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks, <o:p></o:p></p>
