Charley...........
Would you be willing to repair overdrives for my shop on a professional
basis (i.e. we pay you to do them, you guarantee results)?
The people we use at present seem very knowledgeable and competent but
still, some of the units they overhaul will shift out of overdrive gently
and smoothly, while others "clunk" unless the clutch is disengaged slightly.
I'd love to find a reliable, competent overdrive rebuilder who could get
every one of these old units back to "as new" condition every time.
