marktheherald Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Hi all, I'm running a 1500 / D-type OD combination in my 13/60 Estate. Moving off through the gears (O/D NOT selected) seems fine until I drop into 3rd, at which point I am encountering noticeable slip, similar to clutch slip. 3rd to 4th slip is hardly detectable, 1st to 2nd has no slip. I assume this is an overdrive problem but is it a re-con job or something easily fixable? Cheers, Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Mark, had the same on the vitesse a few years back, J type. Started slipping making it entertaining to drive. I suspect it is the cone clutch, but better qualified people may well put me right. I solved mine by fitting another OD unit. Job done.Clive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Lewis Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 could ramble on about all sorts of ideas but best place for free advice is give dave twigger a call he will quickly point you in the right direction http://www.odspares.com/phdi/p1.nsf/supppages/odspares?opendocument&part=2or have a read of canleys data well worth a read http://www.canleyclassics.com/infodatabase.asp?article=overdrivesdtype Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
