Tony,

Wishing all is well.

 If it is the switch the work is from ABOVE. However if you are moving the shifter it could be an issue with that rod.

  Do you have a fiberglass transmission cover or the stock fiberboard. On the TR4a do both of your seats bolt to rails with a pair of bolts in the front of each seat. If your seats are such and you have a firm glass cover it should take ½ hour to get the cover off. Oh ya then there is the dash support.

CHEERS

Subject: [TR] A-type OD questions

I have had my TR4A transmission converted to an A-type OD by  noted specialist, and the removal/installation service was done by a reputable shop.

I just got it back and the OD seems to work perfectly in 4th gear.

In Third, It will work for a short time, then goes out of OD.  It appears that it is related to the isolator switch.  If I gently push the shifter forward, it stays in OD just fine.  If I pull it back slightly (still in 3rd), it does out of OD, and when I push it slightly forward again, OD re-engages.

In second gear, it does not ever engage OD. I did not see the transmission after the conversion, so I do not know IF there is a 2nd gear isolator switch.  But, I think there OUGHT to be..

I picked up the car at the end of last week, and I am sure the shops will make good on a perfectly functioning OD.  But I want to know if this is a simple adjustment issue.  Maybe I can do it myself.  I can get the car on a lift and do the work from below if it were feasible.

I would rather not pull the interior to access the top, but maybe it is necessary.

Any advice/experience with this sort of issue?

-Tony
