- Last night I bought a 75 MGB to use as a parts car. The car was in very good condition until it had an electrical fire in the engine compartment. The engine and transmission are out of the car. The w

- Look for the solenoid, on the top of the transmission about halfway back, it should have two spade connectiors on it for hooking up wires that activate the overdrive. I take it there's no label on th

- The overdrive is a short fat unit that bolts onto the back of the gearbox proper. Non o/d boxes have a relatively narrow tube of similar length instead of the o/d. The o/d unit should have a makers p

- That's not where the solonoid is - you just described the lockout switch (which, by the way, is the exact same switch part number for the reverse light switch on the other side of the tranny!). The

- So can anyone tell me why my non-overdrive transmission (full synchro - some PO replaced it) has two reverse-light switches? One switch is on the right side of the tranny about halfway down, the othe

- It sounds like you have a 77- trans that has the second switch installed to run the distributor vacuum solenoid valve. The switch installs in the same location the OD switch would be. Kelvin. So can

- The inner fender sits on a frame rail; which sits on the front suspension, holds up the engine, and holds both to the rest of the car via the bulkhead and footwells. How is that frame rail?? Douglas
