I took the 2A 88 inch on trip over weekend. It has the 2.25 5 main bearing engine and 16 inch wheels. i have a fairey overdrive fitted. I was towing a small trailer and did just fine. . Anyway got to thinking- not a good thing- .....
After how many miles should one pull the overdrive out and inspect that clutch sleeve. Does the clutch sleeve fail typically fail 50k or 100k or? Or are there any symptoms that tell you the clutch sleeve is bad and about to ruin your day?
My overdive works fine. I'm very gentle with it. I only use it in 4th and occassionaly 3rd. To engage I only double clutch. I do not disengage on the move. I wait till I stop and then take it out of overdive. I change the oil every 6k miles and I always inspect levels at 1k miles.
Any advice appreciated.
