The overdrive gearboxes share many parts with the non overdrive box that you may already have. Aimed especially at the American market, this kit contains all the parts you need to convert your gearbox to overdrive - note that this kit provides overdrive in both 3rd and 4th gear. Both early LH type (black label), 1280 tpm speedo drive and late LH type (blue label), 1000 tpm speedo drive units are available.

Here the overdrive unit is attached to the adapter housing, this whole assembly replaces the rear extension housing on your non OD transmission. Below the unit is the replacement mainshaft which takes the gears from your existing transmission. A wiring harness is also supplied. |
