I have a 1981 240 with 4 speed maual gearbox +OD. Can I fit for example a
late 240/740 5 speed gearbox?
The OD isn't working proper. The car ran 210.000Km's and I allready changed
the OD relais with no result. I also checked the gearbox' oil and cleaned
the filter. The sollenoid is clearly making a "click" noise when I engage
the switch on the gearstick (the relais also clicks).
It seems as if the OD had a bad humour or so. When I engage it works at
random (yes or not). If I wait a while, lets say 2 minutes, it does work. Or
sometimes it works fine the first time. (enigine is on operating temperature
and the soldering in the relais is fine).
So, I can solve the problem by fitting a normal 5 speed, but will I need an
other drive shaft (length)? Or how much would an OD overhaul cost, can this
be done by myself?
Thanks for your kind advise any hits would be appreciated.
