[overdrive]

John,

 

If you go for a gearbox with the A Type Overdrive (correct for a TR4 / 4A) then you can pick them up from £200 - £300 upwards (if you're lucky)

 

They may need a rebuild or at least a thorough inspection which will cost you a few hundred quid also.......

 

Then you need to fit it - if you can do it yourself - bingo, if not then a few hundred quid in labour....

 

I suggest you budget £1200 - £1500 for the conversion, if you get a professional to do it (maybe us!)

 

Or you can save cash if you can do some of it yourself.....

Hi,

 

Have been a member in the past with a TR6 and after several other cars since,I am again looking for a 4a or 6,currently with little success,so if anyone has one requiring no work.

 

The reason for the post is that I have resisted looking at a couple of 4A`s without overdrive on the basis that I will be using the car for touring and I also assume that a non od car will not sell so well in the future as one with.

However if I went the non od route,how easy is it to obtain a replacement od gearbox and can anyone suggest what sort of budget I should allow, including fitting,which I would not intend to do myself.

 

Any advice appreciated.

 

John
