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. Kevin Rhodes Westbrook, Maine Lucky enough to have one with O/D At 09:23 AM 11/20/2008, you wrote: >Seats are from a Miata.
