My new overdrive
Posted: Tue Dec 23, 2014 4:21 pm
I just finished fitting a Roamerdrive overdrive unit to the Dormie. It's a very straightforward installation process. The thing that took the longest time was relocating the driver's (RHS) seat as the mountings overlapped the center seat box making it impossible to remove. I had to move it 1/2" sideways but it does mean I can now take the seat box out to access the transmission. That and modifying the seat box to clear the overdrive, which is quite a large unit.
All that done, I took it for a test drive up Pacific Coast Highway and what a difference the overdrive makes! Lower revs for the same speed, less noise, what's not to like?
Whether it makes a difference to the miles per gallon, We will have to wait and see. But with petrol at $2.75 a gallon at the moment, who cares?
