Richard B Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 J' Type has a large nut securing the solenoid to the O/D 1'' AF.A' Type has two small bolts securing the solenoid to the O/D.A'Type requires a relay in the wiring loom as the current draw is about 8 amps, the J' Type is lower (2 - 4 amps?) so it does not need a relay.D' Type was really for up to 1600 cc, A type was up to 3 Litre. D type is pushing it with a 2 litre 100bhp, and when you put 150bhp through a D'Type well........ J' Type was more modern & replaced both the D & A.

Mj17 Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Anyone know what the overdrive wiring SHOULD look like? The very early wire diagrams list it but then they just give up.I think I've got a J-Type (MGxxxxx 2.5PI) and was chasing the wires through but they quickly become the (less than spectacular) work of a PO. I think the solenoid is held on by a single nut but I was being distracted by rust at the time :(Also is it a gearbox out job to get to the overdrive inhibitor switch?
