I just bought a '79 B on Ebay, came with a spare motor and overdrive transmission. Seller said he'd been offered $650 for the transmission, see them selling on Ebay for $500 up to $800 or so. Brian R

When good overhauled ones (like from Espisito) come out on ebay, they start at $950 or so. So $500-800 seems reasonable for a "should be good but we really don't know" OD. -- ______ Paul T. Root / _

Am I correct in thinking that even though you may have an overdrive switch you may not actually have overdrive?? Craig Tufty 72mgb Alexandria, Virginia 22307

Craig, my '76 B has the switch that moves forward and back (on the right side of the column). That would operate the OD, if my car had one. I think they were all like that, once they moved it to the

Yes. That's the bad news. But the good news is that there might be an OD installed that is not working. A couple of MGB owners in our club have been pleasantly surprised to find that they had OD. Sco

If it is the column switch that also controls the wipers then yes. If you have overdrive it will be between the gearbox and the prop-shaft and be a big lump. If not you will have a tapered tube inste

Clutches cost a lot less than overdrives, so if I can't engage overdrive delicately then I use the clutch. About the only time I really toss it around is when I am overtaking. When disengaging you ca

Generally, you do need a few things. An overdrive wiring harness, and switch (if you don't already have one), and of course the tools (including an engine hoist). You may also need a different drive
