Overdrive slipping on engagement


Recommended Posts

On engaging overdrive in any gear on my TR6 with A type box the revs rise momentarily until it engages. No problem disengaging or in use, other than when I tried to do a fast get away in 1st with it disengaged and got slippage, reduced revs and it went.

My question is do you think it is a problem with the overdrive or clutch and if so what? Is there anything I can check or do before I may have to have the gearbox out?
 

Many thanks.

Hi Pete,

there are ways of testing the clutch that I'm sure somebody will explain.

I find it odd that you say doing a fast getaway in 1st gear.   There is no  OD 1st.   

And trying OD 2nd with too much power could cause  problems with the A type OD
