Subject: Found another '73. Overdrive question.


Question: Did any of the Stags imported into the US have overdrive? If
so, where is the switch and what does it look like?

	Yes, Mine is a 72 and is fitted with the A type overdrive, and the 
switch is located on top of the shift knob.


Question: What overdrive unit goes on a Stag? Anybody got one for sale?

	I am not certain if the TR-6 used the same overdrive ( check part 
numbers ). The transmission on the stag looks like the one on a TR-6; 
however, the internals are different. I assume this is for the increased 
torque generated by the stag engine. If the stag and the TR-6 use the 
same overdrive, then a good source would be TRF in the US ( they don't 
stock stag parts, but if any part is used another model that is also 
used on the stag - then they should have it).

	As your car is a 73, the type of overdrive origionally fitted would be 
the J-type. I suggest that if you are going to keep the car and rebuild 
it, you should get a copy of the parts catalog; it has been a great help 
to me in my rebuild projects.

Good Luck
