I agree with Marcel. I have a J type with 4:10's and it really gives you a
lot of choices. I like the J type because I can access most of the important
bits from below, filters & such. One thing I learned at The Kastner Cup at
Road America is shield the solenoid wire. Mine became disconnected in the
Cup race from a piece of road debris so I ran the entire race with no OD.

Steve,
With an A-type or J-type overdrive gearbox, you can mount a 1:4.33 or better
still, a 1:4.55 rear axle : acceleration is much improved and on most
circuits, the overdrive has to be engaged 1x or 2x a lap. It really shows in
laptimes.

I'm sure this has been discussed many times before but I was always looking
for an A-Type not a J-Type. I know it will require different rear mounts.
Today a guy dropped off a ton of TR6 parts he didn't want anymore and one
was a TR6 gearbox with the J-Type overdrive.
I've thought about wanting overdrive in my TR4 racecars to keep the revs
down a little more at Road America but is this a good idea?
My car seemed very competitive as it sits now and maybe it isn't worth the
trouble, or at least not the gearbox I would want.
