Re: Overdrive
If you can get the owners manual, it should explain it.

Re: Overdrive
www.studebakerclubs.com this site offers the complete Borg Warner shop manual for the overdrive transmission. These overdrives were used by many different automobile manufactures.
Great publication with drawings, operational and trouble shooting tips. Hope this helps, Tom |

Re: Overdrive
There's plenty of reading available online. Search "Borg Warner Overdrive" because the same unit was used in a lot of different makes.

Re: Overdrive
Lots of reading material on this. Owners manual would be the best bet. I had a '40 Studebaker Commander coupe in my younger days that had it. It was identical to the later Fords. Wish I still had that car. Oh, well.

Re: Overdrive
This isn't a "manual" as such, but it thoroughly explains the operation.
