Pete Lewis Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 there should not be any springs to get in the fitting zoneis this a coil spring or what is the spring in the gearbox the overdrive , where is it coming from any chance of a photo?? heres view of OD components http://www.canleyclassics.com/triumph-gt6-mkiii-overdrive-kit-continued-3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Fitting the two together is a nack, are you sure its spring, what can you see?if the splines inside dont align they stop the od from dropping down the main shaft leaves a good gap.the easiest trick is two good screw drivers and whilst dropping the od lever the two pressure platesopen a little this allows the annulus to rotate and all the hub splines line up and she drop into place Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
