A mate of
mine used to have a Fairey Overdrive fitted to an older model Landcruiser. I haven't seen one for years, but they were certainly effective for towing, and for general 4WD work as they provided an extra gear in between every gear( and if I remember 2 in reverse). I think that they were an extra box which bolted on behind the normal gearbox. I know that you ended up with three gearshift levers, and needed to use the clutch to operate it. My mate had it in a petrol, but for diesels they would be great. Does anyone know if they can still be obtained, and if so where, and how much roughly. I have an 80 series petrol Landcruiser.
