Overdrive for DG150

[mikecoombs]

On one of our trips to and from Canberra ferrying Flynn's rover parts home it occuured to us that the laycock overdrive could be attached to the DG150 auto to give a four speed unit (or six if you are really keen) as the DG unit has a lock up top gear. Has any one attempted this?

Not personally, but the said unit has been successfully fitted behind the BW35.
You will need to liaise with a member on the P5 owners forum " johnwp5bcoupe " ; )

John's overdrive is a self contained unit, so will fit behind anything if there's room.

"Room" isn't something there is a lot of in a P6 but we were thinking of a P5 coupe' as we have two spare DG150s to play with and can probably get a laycock unit from the other auction people for a reasonable sum.

Harvey I went gearstick hunting and found two long ones. You were right, there is a difference below the swivel ball. one is a little bit shorter from the ball to the acorn. I have an S top piece but it is out of reach at the moment. I'll check and see which one is which when I get to it.

Is the Laycock the O/D fitted to the Jag XJ6 boxes?
