Hi guys
I’ve come across a decent compact a O/D unit (short version) was going to purchase it to out in my S2 OTS, is it a straight forward fit albeit with some modifications to the G/box tunnel, going to obviously change the main shaft in the box to suit the O/D unit, it was more of will the prop need modification etc.. or something I’m not thinking of .. thanks guys

Hi Paul...an overdrive wont fit in a swb car.........the substantial cross member is in tbe way.......some in the past have cut this out but in my opinion you are seriously damagingvthe intedrity of the structure.....Steve

Put it in your 2+2 Paul - far easier conversion.
