The single rail J type overdrive requires a special shifter cover and linkage that raises the shifter lever and rail (rod) over the overdrive unit. The only components it has in common with the standard shifter are the socket the shifter lever goes into. You can use a 4 speed shift lever, but it isn't hollow for running the overdrive switch wire up to the shifter knob.
I had never tried using the earlier 3 rail shifter cover and linkage on the single rail gearbox, so I cannot say with certainty it will or will not work. I strongly suspect it will not though. The three rail shifter socketed into three distinct rails that moved the synchro units. The single rail uses but one, controlling the shifting through more complex internal gates. Without an overdrive shifter cover and linkage, you really can't make the overdrive unit work. >>> "Greg Schluge" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 05/24/02 10:20PM >>> My questions are: 1. Does the overdrive transmission take something special, or 2. Does it take the same shift mechanism as a single rail, (I think this is the exposed rod and cover plate) 3. Can one of the top mounted remotes ( I think from a three rail transmission) workl with this transmission. /// [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list /// Send admin requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] /// or try http://www.team.net/cgi-bin/majorcool /// Archives at http://www.team.net/archive /// Send list postings to [EMAIL PROTECTED] /// Edit your replies!
