As a side bar story.. I have a pieced together TR6  ('74) that sat for 
10+ years.. mostly out doors. Blown head gasket, live mice included, 
rotten interior and top, shade tree wiring for lighting, etc. etc. Well, 
after getting it running and moved it to the lift I discovered it had an 
A-type O/D, but no wiring, no solenoid, or stalk switch. Today's last 
job is to get the rear end  off the lift and see if it will engage it 
manually. If yes the new owner wants it brought up to par... meaning I 
have to undo the efforts made to the carpeting and all that goes with 
rewiring and relays and... What fun!  DaveP

Although you don't need the relay it won't hurt to retain it.=C2=A0 It make=

Yes, keep the relay.  That takes load off of your ignition switch and =
eliminates the need to remove and rewire all that.

You could move the top cover from you=E2=80=99re A type setup to your =
new J -type setup and retain all the switches.  I have that on my J-type =
and I have 2nd-3rd-4th OD.

My A-type transmission (which was installed in my '74 TR6 when I got it, =

Yes, I have Dan Masters' book... His section on Overdrives is very brief =
(pages 99 and 100) and doesn't really mention swapping out procedures.

Any help/insights on these and any other differences I may yet encounter =
that anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.
