Question on A type overdrive spec for "clutch movement from direct to overdrive"
I put my A-type overdrive together and was following the Greasy Hands article on measuring the movement of the sliding member by pulling the bridge pieces in and out. My TR4 Service manual for the overdrive says under the Misc. Dimensions and Tolerances section that the "clutch movement from direct to overdrive" should be 0.080" to 0.120" allowance of for 1/8" wear of direct drive clutch.
However when I measured mine the sliding member movement is only .060". It is going into overdrive because I cannot turn the shaft counterclock wise and also the flange turns one full turn while the shaft turns about 3/4 the way around. Is this short movement a problem, and if yes, how do I correct it? Thanks!
Regards, Bob
