    Are their any videos explaining what overdrive actually is? My dad had an MGB GT and i was always fascinated as to what it actually did. my guess is that its like having a fifth gear?

      it's like a 1/4 gear. 1- 2 -3 - 4 - 4.25 (instead of 5)

      Overdrive works on 3rd and 4th giving extra gears.

      yes with an early 3 synchro o'drive box. Hard to find and pricey.

    why did they make an external overdrive? what's wrong with a 5th overdrive gear?

    • @TheSoulspinner

      Separate overdrive operates on 3rd & 4th gear (some on 2nd too!) This helps reduce the Gap between gear changes and is far more useful than just a 5th gear.
      Discontinued mainly due to costs I believe.
