RE: TR-6 Overdrive update.

Vance,

Thanks for the info!

At this moment the current post from Patrick states that the splines of the
out put end of the main shaft are different for the OD unit! This appears to
be another variable that will have to be considered when making the change!
Is this fact or has Patrick acquired a unit that was not from an original
TR?

        You are correct, a new (shorter) mainshaft must be
fitted when converting a non-OD transmission to OD.

Patrick,

        For the rest of the people on this list I have a question pertaining
to
Patrick's installation. I am assuming that he is adding an overdrive unit to
a non-overdrive tranny? I have been told that in order to retrofit an
overdrive unit, a different Trans main shaft is also required?
