[The VTR] Maintenance Page is great and has given me invaluable technical
assistance for my TR6, perhaps you can you also help me in a problem I'm
experiencing or perhaps sent me in the right direction to find help with
my Type A overdrive transmission, a little background I'm putting this
over drive transmission into my TR6 the O/D has been sitting in the donor
car for the past 6 years, everything went according to plan I installed
the O/D the overdrive engages when it's suppose to however after a while
the O/D solenoid heats up and burns up the solenoid, any suggestion, I
would greatly appreciate any help that could be offered to me
thank you
Bernie

The answer is not found in playing with the solenoid internal switches.
Note that more than one solenoid has failed.
The problem is that the mechanical adjustment of the overdrive operating
lever
is off to the point where the closing coil is on all the time.
This coil takes 15 amps, and is not intended for continuous use. The
solenoid
plunger needs to travel far enough to activate the internal switch that turns
on the holding coil and cuts off the closing coil. The holding coil uses
less than one amp.
