[TR] Testing a J type OD

[Andrew Uprichard]

Not sure if I should reply, given I just put a car into reverse with the OD stuck….

 

I have an old motor from a washing machine and can use the belt to spin the output shaft of OD gearboxes.  I have found I can go into and out of overdrive this way by just turning the lever on the shaft activated by the solenoid.  Before today (!) I have always been careful to turn the shaft clockwise / the way it turns when driving in a forward gear.

I have rebuild a gearbox for a Stag using a Y type  OD from a Triumph Dolomite Sprint.

 

I'd like to bench test it. Can I put a drill on the end of the input shaft and spin it and then switch on the solenoid?

 

 

If so, and I am looking at the bell housing face on, should the shaft rotate in a clockwise direction?

 

For testing, can I switch on the solenoid in any gear other than reverse?
