It's a whole lot easier to just look under the car - you can't miss
the O/D unit, it's not exactly petite. :-) As far as checks, I think
the most common problem is bad solenoids and/or wiring. With power
you should get a good click from the solenoid. They are tough units
though, and last a long time when bolted to as little hp and torque
as a Spitfire has. Essentially the same unit was used in 160hp Turbo Volvos.
The rear ends are usually the same in the US, in fact I swapped my
original one for one from my non-O/D parts car. You will need the
transmission mount from the O/D car too.

Lucky enough to have one with O/D

Seats are from a Miata. This is a VERY popular conversion.
Slide button is a pretty good indicator of O/D, but to be really sure you'll
need to pull the tunnel cover and actually look for the OD unit on the
tail-end of the transmission.
