Last year I bought a newly rebuilt transmission with an A-type overdrive with all of the electricals, switches, plinth, etc. on E-Bay for my TR250. This has been a goal of mine since I bought the car in '94; I even bought the "overdrive" badge for the rear of the car some 10 years ago in anticipation of this day. The original non-overdrive transmission was replaced by the previous owner the year before I bought the car and was replaced with one from a late model TR6, also non-overdrive. So, now I'm getting ready to install this new unit next week and I have a few questions. 1). Is there a way to test the overdrive to make sure it operates properly before installing it in the car? 2). Will I need to replace the existing transmission mount to one for an A-type, keeping in mind I'm going from a J-type, non overdrive transmission to an A-type with overdrive? and 3). how hard is it to remove and refit the shifter?
