Gearbox,overdrive identification

[Eddie Trickett]

I am trying to identify my gearbox,overdrive in order to get the correct speedo connector.

Unfortunately the size of photgraph of the overdrive was too large and not loaded and the overdrive plate is not clear because location made it difficult to photograph. 

I have bought a standard TR angle drive connection and it doesn't fit the overdrive output  which is shown in the photo.

I thought it was a saloon gearbox and J type overdrive. The input shaft is smaller than a TR5/6.

I bought the angled drive from James Paddock who might be able to help but I wondered if any here knows of a different drive.

Thanks Eddie

That looks as though something is missing Eddie -  the speedo drive components are shown here:

Perhaps items 38, 39. 40 and 41 are not there in which case there isn't anything to which you can attach the angle drive.

I have the bits from a non overdrive gearbox which I thought might fit but I see they are different part numbers in Moss spares but the angle drive is the same in both cases so at least I have bought the right drive.

Another trip to Mosses.

Thanks

I now have all the bits. The square drive from the angled drive only fits into the overdrive outlet by about 4mm, which doesn'tseem a lot. Does anyone know if this is ok?

Thanks Eddie
