Thank you Herb,they go for the same price here so no point bringing one to USA !!! I have tried to contact Rich but no luck yet . I need to know how much of the input shaft needs to be retained as it is in the trans right now so it looks like I will have to take the trans apart to get the full length out .

Regarding my Rich Little Overdrive, which I really like, I have one question. Rich provides a short speedometer extension cable to hook up to the standard Model A cable. It comes with the Laycock connector on one end and nothing but a stub on the other end. I have tried locally to find a supplier that can add the connector to mate up with the Model A speedometer cable, but no dice.
Does anyone know of a supplier that makes speedometer cables that might be able to complete the extension cable?
The pictures show the cable with the Volvo connector and the stub. The connec tor I am looking for is the one on the right, which is an extension cable from the Borg Warner that i replaced.

It shifts purely by a cone clutch, that transmits power to the planetary gears.
It was originally mounted as a part of a regular transmission & the oil was common to both units.

Am I correct on this. I guess this is strictly and overdrive and does nothing for synchro if it is using the standard trans.

I really was looking for synch and od, but don't want to pay 4k for Mitchell.

Doug,
Search for a LOCAL Speedo shop, especially one that does TRUCK Speedos/Tachometers. They can make up a connector for you. Call a TRUCK repair shop, to see who they use.

I'd go with the Ford F150 tranny like Carl used.

Thank Bill, I will try a truck service center. I searched locally for speedometer repair shop and surpris, none were listed.

Is the unit fully upshift and downshift synchronized in all gears?

Does this unit eliminate the transmission?

No

Yes

No

Be prepared to wait a long time for a unit. Supply and demand are out of phase IIRC.
