Hello chaps,
Just when you think that you've figured everything out something else comes
up. When I had my TR6 gearbox and overdrive out of the car last month to
replace the clutch, I drained and replaced the gearbox oil, assuming that it
included the overdrive fluid. When I buttoned everything back up, I added the
quantity that my Haynes manual specified for the gearbox AND overdrive, and
figured everything was okay. Last night I was reading through the TR6 book by
William Kimberly and it mentioned that the A type overdrive shared the oil
with the gearbox, but the J type (which I have) does not.
I'm assuming that my gearbox has a little too much oil in it now and that I'd
better drain some of it, and check my overdrive fluid level.
Can someone with a little overdrive experience explain the difference between
the two overdrive sump designs to me?? My Haynes manual is pretty vague in
this area.
Thanks,
Scott Helms
