Many Austin Healey cars were fitted with an overdrive, an electro-mechanical extra gear which can be engaged at the flick of a switch to aid lower rev cruising or to provide 'additional' ratios on 3rd and 4th gear in competiton environments.

We offer a range of overdrive components and also complete overdrive units available for outright sale, no exhange required.
