<p>that's a late j-type o/d on a 3-rail GT6 box. Rarer setup but not
-uncommon.<br>
</p>
<p>yes...they delay a bit before dropping into o/d compared to the
hard 'bang' of a d-type. A slight lift in power and it should
engage sooner.<br>
If not, time for a oil change. Some say straight 30WT
non-detergent, I've always run the factory spec Castrol Hypoy 90.<br>
Actually they are the same viscosity. The difference is the gear
oil has shear additives where the motor oil does not.</p>

car. It was shipped without an OD but the original owners
added one. The past year I've been having a sometimes
delayed response getting into OD.... sometimes I have to
flip the switch several times to get it to engage.</span></div>

</div>
<div>Today I removed the seats, carpet, and trans tunnel to
clean the filter that is on the left side of the OD. I was
stunned that the OD was different than the ones shown in my
Vitesse/GT6 manuals and online. The solenoid was on the
left towards the bottom of the trans and if there is a
filter/screen to clean is must be on the very bottom of the
OD as I couldn't see one from the top and the exhaust system
prevents me from seeing the bottom. Pictures are hopefully
attached. I think the problem was the mechanical switch on
the transmission linkage that inhibits the OD from engaging
in 1st, 2nd, and reverse was loose and in fact flaky but I'm
perplexed as to what the OD came out of. On the flange of
the OD</div>

<div>Any ideas on what this OD came out of? A Volvo maybe?</div>
