    RDS has been sold to Safari Heritage Parts. I don't know if they also bought the rights to build the Fairey over drives, but a quick email should answer your questions. George is now retired.

    To install an overdrive on your current transmission, you need to remove the cover plate on the rear of the PTO access, and there is a fear that also needs to be pulled out, to allow the overdrive to mate up. Someone probably has photos out there somewhere of a step by step installation.
    Bad gas mileage gets you to some of the greatest places on earth.

      Once you conquer that fear, there's a gear in there that needs to be removed.

          That explains the website message. I would really like to see photos or something on removal of this gear of fear.

          As long as it can be removed in place I would do it.
