I am restoring a 1954 TR-2 Long Door, that has been napping for 30 years. Engine only had 32k but still replaced what needed to be replaced. The 88 year old man I bought it from did not know it had overdrive? When I looked at the car, sitting on 30 yr flat tires, I couldn't see underneath it. The VIN was TS 3359 LO, so guess it had overdrive. I did see a hole in the dash right where the OD switch should have been, along with two rusty wires hanging from the dash. After installing a set of new tires, still napping, I could then see the brass drain plug; Whoopee!
After removing the transmission, I saw that all the overdrive wiring had long since rusted away, along with the wire to the solenoid. My Question: I have a spare solenoid for my 57 TR-3. Will it work on this transmission? I noticed that this transmission only has One switch on top whereas my TR-3 has two.
