A type overdrive

[Radders]

The overdrive on my A type gearbox is slow to come in. (2 to 3 seconds sometimes)

The oil level is fine and all the electric side of it is working fine, so is there anything else I could look at?

Thanks  :)

Oil pressure i.e. warn pump
You could test or have tested the oil pressure but that is not easy without the right equipement. I would simply replace the pump as a precaution. You can do it without taking it out of the car through the drain plug.
