Unfortunately, the body is 'trashed' pretty bad. I also got an engine with 50,000 original miles on it.

I got this trans/OD unit out of a '80 MGB, and have plans to install it in my '76 MGB. How does one know if a component is bad, such as the solenoid switch? Also looking for a diagram to know how it is wired.Īlso to make sure I have everything I need for it. I have the 'mechanics' part, but nothing on electrical components. In reply to # by gashauler I have searched all over trying to find info on the LH overdrive.

Can anyone help me find the info I need? Nuvo Nv E6m Manual here. But it has many useable components on it.

This is a very precise booklet, full of technical spec and photos/diagrams - might be of interest to someone here.Īlso looking for a diagram to know how it is wired. There is a works Laycock overdrive Manual (LH type) on e-bay. How does one know if a component is bad, such as the solenoid switch? Or if the light did not come on when you turned on the switch, either the relay or the switch was bad and that was why you did not feel the OD kick in when you flipped the switch.I have searched all over trying to find info on the LH overdrive. This would "warn" you that power is going to the solenoid, and if you did not feel the OD engage, you would know that the solenoid was probably bad. The nice thing about this is that if your OD got disengaged because you down shifted out of 3/4, the lit up warning light will remind you that the switch is still ON and as soon as you shift back into 3 or 4, the OD will re-engage.Ģ) Or you could wire the light to terminal C2 of the relay, the terminal that provides power to the solenoid when the relay is ON, and the the contacts close. Of course if the switch is ON but the tranny is not in 3 or 4 gear the lockout switch on the tranny will not let the OD come on. This way the light will "warn " you that the OD switch is on. But the light is handy as follows:ġ) For an SII circuit, you could wire it to the switched side of the column switch, that is, the terminal on the switch that only has power when the switch is ON. You'll see it on the tach and feel the shift.
If everything is working fine, you really don't need a light to tell you the OD is engaged. Do you want to know the switch is on, or that the power is now connected to the solenoid. You really have a choice as to where to connect it depending on what you want the "warning" to tell you. Then connect one end of the lamp holder to ground and the other end to the right point in the circuit. If you have a spare dash around you can see the actual location as a molding circle in that area on the rear of the dash. Drill a hole in the dash at the upper left of the tach, about 10 O'Clock, not too high and positioned about even between the tach and the Ammeter (or ammeter hole). I'd suggest using an Ignition lamp, and holder, better yet get a faded one that looks yellow rather than red. Piece of cake to add an OD "warning" light to either an SI, SII setup or an SIII-SV set up.
