[TR] OD gear box question

[DAVID MASSEY]

 Did you get the A-type or J-type overdrive.  They switched in 1973 from the A to the J-type and modified the frame to suit.  The J-type is not a direct fit.  It can be done but it is an unorthodox mounting.  IOW: roll your own.

Subject: [TR] OD gear box question

Owners,   I acquired a Factory OD gear box for my '71 and discovered 
that the transmission mounts on my chassis do not correspond to the 
mount on the box... So, were the cars ordered with OD modified at the 
chassis mount location?

  With the OD, removing the driveshaft becomes a bit more 
problematic...due to moving the mount rearward nearly 6 inches. DaveP
