I take it you purchased one and it is running fine? If so, how many miles
have you put on it and did it develop any leaks? I also sent them an email
requesting some more info.
thanks for the info!!!

P.S. Hope you don't mind I also sent back to the list so others could gather
the same info. I deleted your phone number etc.

You can buy an OD transmission from Atlanta British Auto Parts for $695 plus
shipping.
These transmissions come from the Triumph 2000/2500 models and they get them
from junk yards in the UK. While they don't rebuild the transmission, the
mechanic goes through each transmission and OD to make sure it works and
replaces parts that are worn. In my opinion, it is about as good as a
rebuilt tranny. You can figure about another $250 in parts including the
wiring harness, OD switch, transmission mounts, etc. I don't do a lot of
highway driving either, but it sure is nice to have even with the limited
amount that I drive on highways to have the engine and drive train quieter.
At 75, I am turning about 2,500 RPM and at 80, just a shade under 3,000 RPM.
