1. [Mgs] Overdrive swap (score: 1): Author: johnhed@comcast.net; Date: Wed, 09 Jan 2008 17:58:08 +0000; If I get my hands on an overdrive transmission to swap into my 80B, how easy is that? Other than having ot get the wiring harness and new shifter, does it just swap in or are there different mounts,; /html/mgs/2008-01/msg00025.html (7,302 bytes)

The speedo calibration may be an issue depending on which trans you get. Any OD from 1968-80 will bolt in though. Kelvin Dodd ____________; /html/mgs/2008-01/msg00026.html (8,612 bytes)

Essentially just one wire (hot) which connects to the OD on a switch. The switch then has a wire to go to the solenoid. This switch only completes the circuit when the car; /html/mgs/2008-01/msg00028.html (9,127 bytes)

Mounts are the same, drive shaft is the same for the 'later' cars. Shaft measurements are puzzling. See Paul Hunt's site for discussion on this topic. E; /html/mgs/2008-01/msg00029.html (8,173 bytes)

As far as I can tell it's a contact switch that only enables the OD circuit when the shifter is in 4th gear. It's exactly the same switch as t; /html/mgs/2008-01/msg00031.html (8,626 bytes)

9. Re: [Mgs] Overdrive Swap (score: 1): Author: zsmithbob@aol.com; Date: Thu, 10 Jan 2008 00:46:23 -0500; John, It is not wise to override the lockout switch on the overdrive transmission. On some models, the OD works in 4th gear only, on others, it works in both 3rd and 4th. What you DO NOT WANT TO EVER; /html/mgs/2008-01/msg00050.html (8,586 bytes)

The lower the gear the higher the torque reversals inside the OD, and the stronger it has to be to resist them. Overpower i; /html/mgs/2008-01/msg00052.html (8,214 bytes)

Re: [Mgs] Overdrive swap (score: 1): Author: Bob Howard <mgbob@juno.com>; Date: Thu, 10 Jan 2008 10:05:42 -0500; It's my understanding from guys in our club that the 3rd speed lockout can be over-ridden easily. Not having done this myself, I'll see if I can learn how this is accomplished. Bob On Wed, 09 Jan 20; /html/mgs/2008-01/msg00057.html (8,781 bytes)
