While searching the west coast for MG's & MG related stuff I saw this:

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:] Planetary overdrive attatches to back of tranny will work with most small roadsters i believe.

I dont really know what this is worth but i'm asking 100 OBO[/QUOTE]

So what is it, and can I use it on my Midget?
 
Re: Panetary Overdrive? sounds Sci-Fi...

dunno, a universal overtdrive? does such a thing exsist. Must right... after all it is by way of description something cosmic!?!?! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/jester.gif

Most real overdrives are planetary.

This may be a small Brit unit as seen on the back of an MGB, Spitfire, etc.

Or some vintage hot-rod part.

Many transmissions also have "overdriven" top gear (better than 1:1). This is pretty common on conventional five speed transmissions.
