nang Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 This may be of use to others having o/d problems. Had my very noisy gearbox overhauled by an "expert" 15 months ago . Needed new bearings. Though it would be a good idea to have the o/d checked out at the same time. Anyway 'box came back nice and quiet but o/d did not work. Having an arthritic knee I was not too keen on climbing under the car again after having replaced the gearbox and must admit I lost a bit of interest. Fast foreward 15 months, it got to the stage where I didn't want to drive my poor old Triumph. Got a cortisone injection which made things a bit better physically. Went on ebay and found a training manual for a J type by Vauxhall. Removed o/d from gearbox which is a bit easier than removing the complete gearbox. Stripped the hydraulics and l just basically cleaned all the bits and replaced all the o rings. the main operating pistons had an O ring in three pieces and the bars holding them in place were bent. All back together and it WORKS !! Find a book and it makes it very clear. Tony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Well done. These things look scary, but I guess with patience (a problem) and a decent guide it is possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
