Re: F150 tranny with overdrive
That reply was kind of vague. Is the overdrive a bolt on to the transmission or did they build the whole unit which includes the transmission and overdrive unit. I am still confused.

Re: F150 tranny with overdrive
They come either way. They have adapters to bolt them to the back of the transmission or
they can be put in the drive line. Link http://www.gearvendors.com/custom.html Bob |

Keep in mind that Gear Vendors owns all the stuff that was originally the Laycock-De-Normanville Overdrive (Volvo, Austin Healey, Triumph, etc.). Jim |

Re: F150 tranny with overdrive
Here are a few pictures. The transmission is a Jeep Aluminum case, fitted with Ford gears (yes, they fit w/out modification). Then an adapter was made to connect the O/D to it.
The shifter top assy is also Jeep and I used a Marlin model 66 gun barrel to be able to run the wires from the shift ball. The ball is from a Volvo and has the switch in it to trigger a set of relays to engage the O/D |

Re: F150 tranny with overdrive
Thank You
I've got about 750 miles on the car now. The O/D functions well. I'm running a 4.11 rear axle, and in O/D it equates to a 3.20 Jim |

Re: F150 tranny with overdrive
I appreciate the pictures and the information. I am going to have a wait for a while to do something. I kind of like Dave's the best right now.
Thanks Again

Model A adaptors 004.jpg
Model A adaptors 005.jpg Model A adaptors 006.jpg The photos show a bell housing adaptor made in New Zealand by Mac's Speed shop and sold in the States. (I don't know who by) This alloy casting includes the shaft for the clutch forks and pedals left or right hand drive It is a simple bolt-on job for the F150 gearbox, but because the input shaft spline starts further back than the Model A one, a special offset clutch plate has to be made. In this installation, there is also a quick change rear end and consequently there is also an open prop shaft |
