I have had mine in for at least 20 years and has always been noisy, but =

oils on a regular basis but never seen any metal in the oils.  Peter.

  Hi Gang & particularly George,

  Some members may recall that, having fitted a s/hand Fairey overdrive =
some months ago, it was very noisy when engaged.  Well, I was offered =
another by the garage but before we got round to fitting it, curiously =
the noise level dropped after a few hundred miles and so whilst it is =
still a bit whiney it's liveable with and seems to be improving all the =
time.

  Someone else told me that it may not be the overdrive itself at all, =
but rather a slight mis-mesh where it mates with the main gearbox / =
transfer box. They had cured the same problem by fitting a couple of =
shims somewhere so that the cogs lined up better.=20

  Any thoughts, anyone ?

  Regards to all,

  Anthony
