Re: What'this overdrive 1934
NEVER reverse with the O/D engaged.

Re: What'this overdrive 1934
The installation of an OD in a torque tube type of drive-line is a pretty rare application.
I knew a man in Idaho in 1950 that had one in a '41 Chevy coupe, the OD was in the car when he bought it. About two years ago I saw a '50 Chevy for sale at the Pomona Swap Meet. The car was a mess, needing a complete restoration, however, the OD unit was complete, installed in the drive-line close to the differential.. I would make a guess that BW had an installation kit available to install the OD's in torque tube drive-lines, thereby making the application user friendly.

Re: What'this overdrive 1934
With a 2.87 overdrive I would think you would need some really good brakes to get stopped in an emergency.

Re: What'this overdrive 1934
It would only freewheel if the unit is not locked out. The problems would happen if it actually shifted into OD while freewheeling in reverse.

Re: What'this overdrive 1934
I see there is some new activity here. I am attaching a document I came across in my research that will hopefully answer a lot of the questions in this thread...
It shows pictures of an entire enclosed drive shaft installation broken down to its component parts and how to repair. quite detailed. I also have a document that I cannot seem to upload that is named "1C-Borg-Warner-OD-Restorer-Mar-Apr-2005" maybe people can search and find that one if interested, more about operating the units. (I think it is to big to upload) I can also email directly if someone is interested. |

Re: What'this overdrive 1934
That's a good link that explains everything very easily. A must read for anybody with a BW overdrive, torque tube mounted or not.

Re: What'this overdrive 1934
Lincolns were the first Ford made cars to use the BW electric OD. Those early ones were torque tube.
