Gang,
I bought an MGB O/D transmission from another list member this past
weekend (...and there was much rejoicing!). The gearbox needs to
be freshened up with new gaskets and seals, but appears to be in fine
shape otherwise (shifts easily, no chipped gears, no metal bits in
the old oil, etc, etc...) On to the questions:
I've never done any maintenance on an O/D unit. What are the servicable
parts in an LH overdrive (if anything)? Also, I've heard that the
*only* way to test the O/D lump is with it installed in the car.
Is that really true or are there some general tests to perform?
I have no reason to doubt the unit- it spins freely and is nice and
clean inside. But I'd really hate to install the unit and find out
the O/D isnt O/D-ing because of an $0.80 O-ring :-( Suggestions?
