Hello--
I just completed (almost) my first major mechanical adventure on my
1972 MGB. I installed a new tranny with an overdrive and was surprised
to find that the easiest part of the job was removing and reinstalling
the engine/trans. The toughest part was bolting the tranny to the
supports on the crossmember and after hours of flailing away I have
only installed two of the bolts. Can any of you offer any tips on how
to do this more efficiently?
Also the overdrive works beautifully except it remains on in 1st and
2nd gear--I now have more forward gears than a tractor trailor. In
addition the backup lights stay on all the time. I think this is most
likely due to a faulty gear switch. Any thoughts from this
knowledgeable group would be appreciated.
Regards,
Dan
