I have that exact same gearbox and a few words of caution if you don't already know is if the solenoid ever gets stuck in the on position it will destroy itself in lower gears, The engage switch used two switches, one on third and 4th near the lower part of the shift lever as a safety feature that would not let that solenoid energize in any other gears even if you left the column overdrive switch in the on position. That solenoid works a valve in the overdrive to use oil pressure in an internal pump to work the clutch cone to engage overdrive planetary gears.. a clever setup and compact..but its not a very strong transmission and uses the same oil as the gearbox and NOT heavy weight oil like a conventional gear box..it used i think 30 or 40 weight oil... some people ignorant to this tried to put in 70 ish oil like a standard transmission and the pump wont pump that, Cheers!
Thanks Chuck, i just purchased an untested unit.. being shipped to me . While I wait for it, I'm searching for all the info and tidbits I can find, so my upgrade goes smoothly,
I just watched the episode of the sunbeam alpine and the boys done such a lovely job of the car.. they should be very proud of themselves.. Keep making great shows.. thanks 👍
I think Tim Shaw has grown into his role, and he relates to the families of the people being helped out well, and the recipients when they get to see their done up car.
