For no cost any SU carb can be made to flow better by removing most of the spindle and some filing of the butterfly, just imagine you are some air going through the carb and get rid of impediments t

Although I'm not an expert on 'A' type overdrives I can give you some pointers. Overdrive pressure should be sufficient to allow the unit to engage when full torque is being transmitted (it is this

This might seem like a silly question but you did fit plugs in the end of the rocker shaft? For some unknown reason original shafts don't have the plugs fitted and oil just flows out. John Kipping -

The TR gearchange isn't great for an overdrive as each gear has its own switch, so as you go from overdrive 3rd to overdrive 4th the unit is switched out and then back in again as you go through neu
