Peter, Stuart & Hamish, Some great feedback, thanks very much. As regards the clutch, I won't bother. @Hamish - Aintree looks like fun. @Stuart - I need to be careful when listening to Healey drivers!!! Thanks again, Malcolm

Over the Winter, I took the plunge and went ahead with the installation of an overdrive unit to my TR5. Now, after driving it for about 50 miles, I'm delighted with how it improves the driving experience but want to ask about the best way to use it. I am told by a friend who has a Healey 3000 (also an A type O/D, I think) that depressing the clutch when operating the O/D switch would be beneficial as it reduces the potential for jerking and stress/wear to the transmission in general. Are there the views on the forum as to whether depressing the clutch when changing O/D gearing is ad

Hi All, I've had my TR5 since the mid 1990's when it was totally rebuilt and had pretty light use since. During the rebuild (and for reasons I can't recall) might the o/d gearbox been replaced with a 4 speed box? The boot is badged as an o/d car. Whilst the 4 speed box is fine, I am contemplating upgrading it to an o/d unit. Is it worth it? Financially and practically. I am getting conflicting comments on how many gears should have o/d. Internet research suggests gears 2,3 and 4 but ORS in Sheffield have said only gears 3 and 4. Can I seek views on which is correct please.
