<< Hello,
 I've heard or read that the overdrive used on many Volvos is similar to the J
 type used on the Triumph TR6. Does anybody have any experience or suggestions
 about it ? Is it  a cheaper way to get an overdrive for my TR ? ( TR 250 in
my
 case). Is it an easy switch ? I would appreciate any feedback.
 Thanks Sal >>
Hi,
To add to Sal's question, I've been wondering the same thing.  I have a
Laycock overdrive unit from a Volvo 145 that doesn't appear to have ever been
used (NOS?), but I have no idea if it is common to any of the British cars
that used the same type of overdrive.  Anybody have any experience with these?
I have a '76 TR6 and a '57 100-6 that have overdrive, and it would be nice to
know if this unit could be used as a backup, or spare parts.
Thanks,
Scott Helms
