Help with overdrive unit
 

I have had this overdrive unit and have never been able to find out much about it. Is anyone familiar with this particular overdrive? I was told it would bolt up to a turbo 400. Thanks

Saw a couple threads that some had bad bearings, some didn't, apparently they use gm trans parts internally and there are no wiring schematics available for them.

Yes, I know there are others around. I was able to find a pdf file of the installation instructions. I have not printed it out so I don't know if it has the wiring specifics. I wonder if most any transmission shop could check this out?

I'd bet a decent tranny shop would know exactly what they're looking at, and if you're planning in running it, peace of mind is worth getting an opinion.

Keep us posted. I've seen one of these on CL, and wondered about it.
