I took mine out and bench tested it with 12V and saw that while it move one direction it didn't retract. I don't believe that it is due to the oil but rather a sticking solenoid. While it would engage, I could not get it to disengage immediately. I had the same problem when I first installed my O/D. Given that it is OK, could the type of oil used in the gearbox make it stick in the ON position? What about GL4 gear oil Vs GL5 gear oil? I'm getting ready to pull overdrive solenoid to see if it is operating correctly. I also rechecked oil level and topped it off. I checked all electrics and they work fine. Now overdrive is stuck in ON postion all the time(even with 12V disconnected from solenoid). I drained gearbox and cleaned sump filter (I did not try to clean pressure filter). I just purchased 74 TR6 with J type overdrive. There seems to be conflicting views on what weight of oil to use.anything from regular gear oil to standard weight engine oil (10W30) to single weight non-detergent 30weight. Triumph TR6 - Oil for gearbox j-type I have a 1975 TR6 with a j-type overdrive and want to know what kind of lubrication to put in the gearbox.
