Dear Team.net Members,
This evening my wife and I spoke of purchasing and
installing an Overdrive transmission into our 1975
TR6. I spoke with John at Quantumechanics.com and we
are seriously considering a purchase. Now the
challenge...
Our local mechanic says it will take him 14 - 16 hours
to install the shaft (into the tranny) and install the
tranny into the car (including wire running, switch
installation etc.) At $90 per hour, that adds about
an additional $1,400 to the initial cost of ~ $1,600.
Clearly I can't justify $3,000 for an Overdrive
Transmission.
The question is how hard is it to install this myself
and is there a WEBSITE / Instruction booklet that I
could use? The Bentley Complete Official assumes that
you either have one installed or you don't. I'd love
to hear from a few of you that have already done this
to guage the complexity of the challenge. I think
that I could do it but need some encouragement.
Please help, and thanks. This list is the greatest!
