There is a "bit" more stuff to look after. The best choice is to find a
complete set. This way you get everything. It is also cheaper even if
the overdrive is not working. I learned it the hard way. If not than you
will need: support bracket, angle drive, adapter plate, drive flange, a
shorter drive shaft (around 3.5inch shorter). Also there is the small
items like the spring clip that goes on the shaft, the cam for the oil
pump, spring ring, relay, switch. Also you need to know if the solenoid
and the speedometer drive assembly are ok. You will have to fit a safety
backup switch. On top of that the overdrive might need to be rebuilt
anyway or you might found some surprise in your tranny. It is not
impossible but be patient.

How do you identify a Spitfire Mk3 overdrive (and transmission)? Are there
numers on the OD to indicate that it is for a sptifre mk3? I understnd that
tese are the d-type OD. How do you determine if it is a D-type?
i understandthat you need the shaft also as it makes for a longer
transmission.
By the way I am looking for a mk3 (d-type overdrive) with shaft.
Thanks
