A whole lotta parts in a BW overdrive !

[Mac VP]

We rebuild these regularly and, although there are variations in the various models, the general group of parts involved is the same. From everything in the 3 speed side, to the entire group of unique overdrive parts, it really almost triples the total number of pieces we have to keep track of. It also means that these jobs take easily twice the time of a regular (non overdrive) 3 speed transmission. Just imagine if you forgot one little snap ring or oil baffle. The attached photo shows nearly everything except a few odd bolts. I had already installed the ball bearings on their respective shafts for this photo, and the loose needle bearings had already been packed into the cluster gear. Also, I did not include the electric solenoid in the grouping.
