Hi all,
Today is the first day I have had to play with my Le Mans and try to fix the
overdrive. My first step was to drain the old oil and see if it had 90wt in it.
Well, I was shocked to find a tiny little dribble of oil from the drain plugs when
removed! Thank the Sunbeam Gods that I didn't drive that thing around much before
inspecting it. I think I will pray to the Harrington Gods tonight too, because
after topping off the overdrive trans with some 30wt it woorked fine. I also found
that the DPO had the battery installed backwards which explaned a few of the
little electrical problems it had. Thanks again to everyone who gave me the nickel
education on overdrives. I also saw a yellow series 3 on a trailer crossing the
Howard Franklin Bridge at about 2:00 last Thursday afternoon in the Tampa -
Clearwater area. Anybody? I was headed home after delivering a 53 Morris Minor to
a guy in Naples. I looked for Sunbeams in the papers, but didn't see any. I
thought it would be nice to bring one home since I had an empty trailer. - Ian
