Why not use the top cover from the OD trannie and the selectors and shafts
from the original 4 speed? Aren't the top cover innards all the same
except for the differences between the various model years?

John:
You will need to install a lockout switch on the top cover from
your 4-speed. You cannot install an overdrive without the third switch
on the top cover. If the OD is left engaged in reverse, you will break
the overdrive, hence the need for the extra switch to prevent this.
There are some instructions on my web page should you have any
questions.

Hi Guys, I am replacing the 4 speed in my 1974 TR6 with a Volvo
overdrive converted transmission. The top cover and rods inside do not move
freely on the overdrive but the rest looks fine. I want to use the top off
my four speed on it. Has anyone swapped a non-overdrive top to an overdrive
transmission? The one switch is on top of the overdrive cover and my
four speed ahs one on each side but I hope you can just move the wires. Any
help would be nice Thanks, John
