- My tech is telling me that getting a "J" or an "A" type o/d unit is going to cause problems due to the fact that they leak like mad. Is this your experience? He is telling me that I should do the Cel

- All depends on if you're a big "originality" nut, I guess. Mine doesn't leak...like crazy that is, but I imagine that's not case for everyone. These cars leak...bottom line. There's probably a money

- There's no more leaking from the o/d than any where else on the car. A well set up o/d is one of the joys of driving a TR. I really struggle to understand why overdives were so unpopular in the Stat

- Hi. I wouldn't go so far as to say overdrives were unpopular. To be honest, British car sales in the US were always "sketchy" due to many issues, but one of them was the dollar/pound relationship. Th

- I realize I am a bit late chiming in here, but bear with me... One other thought about an o/d vs a 5 speed conversion. The o/d conversion is 'free'. That is, if you add an o/d, you add $1,000 to the

- I agree with you 100%..my PERSONAL view is that I would NEVER add the 5 speed to the car. It goes against every reason that I had in purchasing the car in the first place. From a value standpoint I j
