Kevin There is a "bit" more stuff to look after. The best choice is to find a complete set. This way you get everything. It is also cheaper even if the overdrive is not working. I learned it the hard way. If not than you will need: support bracket, angle drive, adapter plate, drive flange, a shorter drive shaft (around 3.5inch shorter). Also there is the small items like the spring clip that goes on the shaft, the cam for the oil pump, spring ring, relay, switch. Also you need to know if the solenoid and the speedometer drive assembly are ok. You will have to fit a safety backup switch. On top of that the overdrive might need to be rebuilt anyway or you might found some surprise in your tranny. It is not impossible but be patient.
Jean-Marc Dion Spitfire MK2, 1967 Still waitting for parts for the overdrive. -------- Original Message -------- How do you identify a Spitfire Mk3 overdrive (and transmission)? Are there numers on the OD to indicate that it is for a sptifre mk3? I understnd that tese are the d-type OD. How do you determine if it is a D-type? i understandthat you need the shaft also as it makes for a longer transmission. By the way I am looking for a mk3 (d-type overdrive) with shaft.
