I had one of our local Vintage Transmission Expert rebuild the trans and overdrive on the 250. He is not schooled on triumph transmissions but said he has done many transmissions and they are all similar.
He did a great job on the rebuild. The transmission works smooth. But the O/D was not working as good as it should. I tried different adjustments et. to no avail. So I broke down and called a local British car mech. He asked what oil I used, "What the book say's 80-90 gear oil" Wrong he uses 20-50 motor oil. So we flushed out the trans and O/D with ATF. With a small adjustment to the solenoid the O/D works perfect. I just drained and refilled the trans with 20-50 Valvoline and heading for a drive thru the delta. I have to drive it for at least for 30 miles to make sure all is good. At least that is the reason I told my Wife.
Will let you all know how the drive goes.
