I drive the rover every weekend, but I do not drive it over long distances often at all.

I have to be honest, I am not familiar with the concept of an overdrive and therefore don't know if it is a good investment. I am already spending a significant amount, no where near a full restoration but still a pretty big dent in my pocketbook, and I am not sure whether I should go for it.

Comments, ideas??

Thanks,

High ratio Tcase and an overdrive are not the same.

I have been looking at the same thing for my SIII. I have been advised by several knowledgable people that the Tcase is not good for the stock or even modified 2.25.

Go with a Fairey or Roverdrive.

Unless you are going to do a Merc diesel or Robert Davis engine swap, then the HRTC will work well.
