The overdrive gearbox that I bought for $125 has a slight twist to the
output shaft. The local transmission guys (who are quite knowledgeable
about british trannies) says the box is O.K. I always assumed that the
twist probably occurred when the overdive unit itself exploded. Has
anyone seen twists in the output shaft in units where the overdrive was
still servicable, or have they all been trashed? I am mounting a Volvo D
type overdrive and it fortunately still slides down onto the transmission
output shaft easily.
