I acquired a Triumph 2500TC (1976) Gearbox and J type overdrive in order to fit it to my 3A.
After cleaning the outside I ran it up on a test rig and the Overdrive seemed to behave properly showing 410PSI. Maybe a little low but intend to add a spacer to the accumulator spring later on.
I removed the Overdrive, rebuilt the Gearbox and at the same time removing the Overdrive Sump, cleaning both oil filters and replacing the “O” rings.
Everything seemed very clean but now when I run it up it won’t engage.
I have had another close look under the sump and everything seems all good.
People talk about the operation of the Solenoid but never explain in detail. Mine draws 2.2Ampres and moves only about 1/16” and is rather quiet in its “Click”. Is that the normal operation?
I’m happy to buy a new one but reluctant if it isn’t the problem.
Is there any chance I could have put the Oil Pump Cam on backwards or something like that and the mistake would not inhibit the rest of the assembly?
I'm really stuck and look for someone with great knowledge and wisdom.
