Re: Installing a Mitchell Overdrive
I just finished installing both a Mitchell Overdrive and transmission in my 1929 model A roadster P/U. Also bought their puller kit which worked great. It was quite a bit of work......however, I love the way the Mitchell transmission shifts. No problem with gears grinding now......wonderful when down shifting.
The overdrive shifts fairly easy but stiff. Goes in to over drive easy but does not shift easily back it to direct drive. Some times I must stop in order to shift back in to direct drive. Slot in floor board has good clearance in both directions. Other than adjusting the shaft length that connects the shift lever to the overdrive......I do not see any other adjustments. Was told the overdrive has syncro's which should allow shifting in and out of overdrive while driving. I have been pushing in the clutch when shifting in/out of overdrive.
Any suggestions?
