An A type overdrive transmission is a direct bolt in replacement for the
standard tranny on a 74 TR6. If you were replacing a J type with an A type,
or if you were adding a J type overdrive tranny as a replacement for the
standard box, you would need to make some rear mount mods.
I put an A type in my 74 in 1985. It was a simple replacementand is GREAT.
The overdrive works in 2nd gear as well as 3rd and 4th, but I seldom have
the need to us overdrive in other than 4th. I see no advantage in street
driving to use overdrive in 2nd, unless you just like to show off.
