Hi Everyone:
A fellow member of the MG Car Club-Long Island Center (MGCC-LIC) has a
79B roadster with a recently installed LH overdrive. The basic overdrive
unit prior to installation had "o"ring replacements and basic pump
check-out. The unit functioned for approx 1,000 miles and now will not
engage in the overdrive position. Checked out the solenoid with normal
car wiring and direct 12 volts, and the solenoid functioned. Also a
replacement solenoid was tried with same results. The car was on a lift
with rear wheels turing approx 25 MPH to see what happens when the
electric power is applied, solenoid clicked in but the unit still failed
to function. Anyone out there have any suggestions? and, can the LH unit
be removed from the car on a lift without removal of the entire engine
and gearbox to faciltate bench repairs?
Thanks: Rich Boris 67B
