I'm not sure about the T9 but the Celica 5 speed works really well.
There were a couple guys in NM or Arizona making conversion kits. And yes, for
the first time in my history, it was plug and play! Bolted in.
Cost about 6 years ago was around $1800.
Cheers, Bill

Subject: [Fot] OD rebuild or T9 Trans. GT6
Seeing the recent discussion on Type A Overdrive I thought I?d take advantage
of this great knowledge resource and ask opinions on restoring my street GT6 OD
that failed last year (worn out basically) versus abandoning the triumph set up
for a T9 retrofit while still available.
What is anyone?s experience with regard to longevity of a Type A overdrive.
This is my simplest, lower cost solution (about $800) versus the T9 swap at
about $4000
Additionally I need to get my Track Car also a GT6 up to snuff. I understand
there may be an option of having someone restore and upgrade the current
triumph 4 speed versus me purchasing the T9. In this case reliability and
operability are more important to me than keeping the car period correct. I
can?t afford the time or money to repeatedly swap out a weak transmission
that?s prone to failure like a stock box.
Advice and Opinions most welcome.
Thanks everyone
