Greetings listers,
I'm thinking about moving my overdrive switch to the gear shift knob.
Seems like a good Idea to me. What has the list done is this regard.
There's a Jags shift knob with a button on top, Im sure the TPI is
all wrong
but it may be useable?

Bill,
Mine is that way and I really like it. The TR books I have read have said
that is the original planned location (reason the early gearshift handlles are
hollow). I tend to drive with my hand on the lever anyway, so its lightning
fast in the mountains where I am to flick it from 2nd OD to 2nd gear. Otherson
thislisthave said they can shift faster with the original switch location on
the dash, although I do see the rally cars had gearshift mounted switches.
I bought a new Stag gearshift knob complete w/switch and a lever from one of
the numerous Stag parts suppliers in the UK. It fits perfectly. My wife was
bothered by the bend in the Stag lever and thought it didn't look original,
so I cut it and welded it onto an old TR3 lever I had.
Best, Mike Moore
