I acquired an R6 overdrive and when I removed the drain plug from the overdrive unit I could see a small piece of metal loose inside. I was able to remove it with a magnet, its a small cylinder shaped like a roller bearing or something, I included a pic of it beside a quarter. Trying to shift thru the gears on the OD and I cannot get it to go into reverse. The picture below showing the top of the transmission shows a small button from the overdrive unit pushing against the back end of the first and reverse shifting bar. This button is what is preventing the shifting bar from going into reverse. It needs to retract into the OD unit so the shifting bar can slide back and engage reverse. But it wont. Ive spun the input shaft while trying to shift, engaged and disengaged the OD lever but reverse is a dead stop. Metal against metal feels like. If anyone that recognizes the small piece that fell out could chime in and let me know what it is and does. Also looks like I may have to disassemble the OD unit to put it back in. I see the four bolts holding the OD unit to the main body, can I remove these bolts and split the two or will I need to disassemble the main unit as well. I read on a previous post that literature concerning the R6 OD is not available and I'm finding that to be true. An exploded parts diagram would be very helpful. Thanks, Lloyd

I have been looking for an R6 overdrive for my 1939 P8 but I am being asked what make and year cars they originally came out on. I don't know what to say to insure I get an OD that will fit my P8 without major mods to the linkage and driveshaft. From a previous post by Jim Wilson I know they were on 1939 Chrysler: http://p15-d24.com/topic/36973-overdrive-trans-questions/ Could anyone give me any other cars and/or years the R6 was on that would be a bolt in for my P8?
