Overdrive for R-130
Posted: Fri Aug 03, 2018 5:08 pm
I have a 5-speed trans from a L-160 in my R-130. Lo is all the way to the right and down, reverse is right and up, rest of pattern is simple "H" with 1st at upper left.
I was told that this transmission also came with an overdrive.Seems like it would be on the shaft that now has "Lo" and reverse. Would it be practical to convert this trans to the OD config? Parts rearrangement or new parts required?
My other option to go faster with less engine revs would be to repair the original 4 spd which spat out its rear bearing, and add an auxiliary ( I have one, not too big, with under, direct, and over.)
Suggestions appreciated.
