billmahy Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Hi, I'm looking for an A-type overdrive to fit my "standard" gearbox TR5. Or, I could be interested in an overdrive with gearbox. I recently bought a gearbox with J-type overdrive from a 2500 saloon, but would rather have the correct parts for my car (I know the J-type parts may be stronger, but.....). Does anyone have one, or know a man who might? Very cautiously optimistic.... regards Bill Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave I O W Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Hi Bill, Got my gearbox converted to an Atype o/d by Tony Lynseydean of Kingston Sportcars a few years ago, Nothing to do with me just a satified customer, If you pm me I'll try and find you his number if you want it. Cheers Dave. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

openroad Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 Hi , it was me that bought it, and its going this weekend with the non overdrive box, to be made into one unit. So thanks for that. Good luck in your search bill, maybe overdrive services of sheffield are worth a call......a friend has used them and was very happy. Cheers. Conrad.

billmahy Posted November 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Thanks for your advice so far. I've found the contact info for Tony at Kingston Sportscars off the internet, so I'll call him later. I've also been in touch with Mike Papworth earlier this year - a few different options from Mike to think about. And, I've contacted Mike at Classic Sports Cars who responded to an earlier thread (last month) for an A type overdrive - more options here as well. I'd like to keep this thread going in case anyone else out there has an overdrive which I might use or trade in against a reconditioned unit. I'm still keeping my options open....... regards Bill Quote Link to post Share on other sites
