Ah. so it's as others have pointed out the tunnel is too narrow. My 
mistake I have an 86" and the OD (Santana one) went in fine. Could 
you have a "plunger" style knob that comes through the seat box front 
wall like the knob for the PTO.

Interesting to hear from others as I'm sure there must be quite a few 
80"ers with overdrives fitted.

Ah. so it's as others have pointed out the tunnel is too narrow. My

On my 52 the transmission tunnel is to close to the drivers side of the
gearbox for the overdrive levers to fit. The 80 is a run about that I
bought last year, whilst I renovate my 48 and 49. I guess that someone
has got things will out of alignment on a previous renovation (I have got
a temparary fix for now.)<br>
With 7.50 bar grips (ex military 80 inch) the original 2 litre engine
does struggle a bit (but will do will over 60mph with a long enough run
up!!!)<br>
The ngine really does sound a lot happier now at A road speeds.<br>
&nbsp;<br>
P.S I have not run an overdrive before, are they always noisy under no
load.<br>

Thanks<br>
