The 74 TR6 was fitted with the J-type but the A-type sill fit just fine with
the adapter used on the early TR6's. One can tell easily with just a test
drive. The A-type has an accumulator and will shift into O/D instantly and
sometimes with a jolt. The J-type does not have an hydraulic accumulator and
will
shift into O/D at a rate determined by the pump capacity and piston volume.
Mine will take about a second at 30 MPH oand half a second at 60.
Visually the easiest thing to expalin is the orientation of the solenoid.
The A-type has a vertically mounted solenoid whereas the J-type's solenoid is
horizontal. There are many other external differences but that is the easiest
one to explain.
