Thanks Elin, your clear explanation of the lock-out mechanism takes the mystery out of the shift assembly! Simple design to prevent transmission damage, but now I know how it works.
LOL. It took me 3 or 4 takes and at the end a lot of editing to make it sound clear LOL. And I am still not happy, it could have been explained simpler and clearer. Next time :)
Remove the inner speedo cable, clean & grease (use light grease) up to 3/4” from the speedo end. That should stop the speedo from bouncing ! Regards, Sandy 🔧🏴
I think the wood is absorbing much of the shock, that's why using the hammer handle worked. When I removed mine, I made a big drift using a 3/4" pipe nipple, with a brass cap on one end and a regular pipe cap on the hammering end.
34:22 "I don't know, this is some stupid misdesign." YEPP, that's how I often feel when working on British cars 🤣🤣 Especially when it comes to creative ways of "stopping" oil from leaking...
Having done this job on a TR-4 overdrive transmission myself back in the 1970's it gave me the opportunity to see the very clever, but relatively simple design of the system. Great video again Elin.. Happy New Year to you and yours ( & David). 😄
Great to see you and Cheftush working together. I am wondering when Cheftush is going to post another video on his progress with the Alpha as well as his Triumph. Getting withdrawal symptoms!
Happy New Year to you both!! Hopefully you have got most of the leaks sorted from that gearbox. Strange design of joint to the overdrive, I expect a lot of them must be leaky!! Good luck from Spain!!
man my 1955 TR3 engine block was way cleaner as far as rust and I found the TR3 painted on the side from the factory and I will be able to preserve it. I just got a ultra sonic cleaner and man run evapo-rust in that and 30 minuets and done and no black to remove.
Hey Elin, Not sure if it is something you're aware of or if it matters but at 1:04:20 when you are tightening the bolt the solenoid looking thingy on the side comes up off its stop. Maybe that's related to the overdrive issue?
Another very interesting video. I have to ask, what are the switches for? Are there lights to tell you which gear you are in? My GT6 has one switch for the back up lights. I would like to have all the tools that you have, the spot welder, the lathe, etc,etc. One tool that we do have in common is the oil feeder. I have the exact one in red too. Mine is about fifty years old and still works perfectly.
The switches are to tell the overdrive it is safe to engage. One is closed only in second and the other one in third and fourth so when they are connected in parallel with eachother and in series with the solenoid, the overdrive would engage only in second third and fourth. My oil feeder is as old as tours and it works much better than the 2 or 3 others that are a few years old
So enjoyable and informative, Elin you never fail producing first class videos.
Great video. Well explained in your calm manner. Thanks.
The best back ground music yet

Hi Elin, jumping speedo is usually a worn or damaged speedo cable outer catching the inner cable.
early start mister, as well at least for me. Perfect reason for a coffee with Elin and Nik.
Remove the inner speedo cable, clean & grease (use light grease) up to 3/4” from the speedo end. That should stop the speedo from bouncing !

You can re-use anything made of copper by annealing.
Heat it up to red hot & quench it in water, then clean off the scale !🔧🏴
Another great video. Thank you!
Great video, thank you.

He is busy with his full time job. He will be back soon. I make sure every once in a while he holds a wrench in my garage so he doesn't forget how LOL
yeh me too
@@RustyBeauties Way to go Elin!

You got a big one then. I have an ultra sonic cleaner that barely fits a carb LOL. Actually David has it now
no its small ( 6L) I wish I could aford one that big.

Yeah, that is OK, when the solenoid is not energized the plunger has a lot of play. I will replace the solenoid soon anyway.
Bouncing Speedo needles normally means the cable needs lubed or replaced.
Thanks, I got the same advise from someone else. I will try to take out the cable and lubricate it!

Rusty 'nose' about seals 😁
I'm not versed in overdrives at all, so question. Could you put some rtv on that friction fit seal?
Well, without taking it apart it won't have much effect, but I might try that if nothing else works.
@@RustyBeauties yeah, taking it apart won't do much. But I mean if you took it apart...
That speedometer drive housing looked to have overheated ?
I think that was some kind of a sealant that someone used there, trying to prevent it from leaking.
Elin at 21:00, what is the large hole on the bottom of the bell housing for?
I have no idea. It is only on early transmissions. I guess for visual clutch inspection? Just a guess.
It's the cable
"Now it would be great if I could hold it from underneath..."
- Isn't that what kids are for?
The kids are at school. I asked the dog, he refused LOL
@@RustyBeauties Haha!
Could u help me with my miata project? I got the same problem as u
Watch our language C T? Why its always coming from my mouth and always sarcastic, unless I visited Taco Bell............
