I would have outbid you on that if I had seen it. Good luck and post up how you get on Yep that's the one! I can't believe I got it for that on what the competition thought they were bidding on. Doesn't help when the auctioneer sets it to finish at 9 on a weekday morning. Second time I've had a good deal like that. Will let you know what I find when I get it on the bench. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little mule Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 While perusing the web I found something that might those of us that have a GKN . pits a deep sump that will double or almost triple the amount of ATF in the over drive . I found two companies one is Gear venders over drives and maximum over drive . They are basically the same type of deep sump. the Gear Venders has a spot to mount a temp sender and a rear drain . I think the Maximum Over drive has the same ports. here are a few pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 I bought the MO version but it doesn't fit if the transfer box has the bigger sump on, the OD & TB clash, they both need part of the same space, so it either one or the other.

Little mule Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 would you be willing to sell me the deep sump. I think I might have a solution for it . I’ll make an adaptor for it so they both fit . let me know . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know what model of transmission you bought it for ? I have a friend who has lots of Volvo trannys around he might have one kicking around .

western Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 It's the MO sump for the GKN overdrive for LR Defenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little mule Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 I didn’t see that model of deep sump when I was on their web site . Do you have a part number and maybe a web site . i might be using the wrong website to find the deep sump. it would be nice to find one for the rover GKN . I have a deeper sump for the T-case and to be perfectly I don’t need it as in not going to be pounding my truck off road anymore . It will be on a trailer when my wife and I are travelling with the camper on the back of my RAM 2500 and towing the trailer . We will be doing our touring around with the RRC .

vulcan bomber Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 I hope the mods are ok with this but I can now sell people a set of gaskets for the GKN unit. £15 a set including postage and with a couple of extra gaskets for the inspection cover to allow you to remove the cover for servicing. And significantlu cheaper than Devon who sell 1 gasket for £12!! How many people here are actually running a GKN? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oakmaster Posted August 20, 2023 Author Share Posted August 20, 2023 I have 2 - one in my 110 V8 - Not in use due to a lack of the speed sensor, and another "Sulking on a shelf" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reb78 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 I have three. One works. I'm going to sell one to @vulcan bomber so he can figuremout how to modify/fix them more. Those gaskets are a steal at that price, d44 is the only other place to buy them as far as I know and as David says, the cost for one is almost the same as his set!

vulcan bomber Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 A sump is something I have a lot of ideas on, as soon as I can get the one Richard (Reb78) is sending my way fitted I'll be able to make a start on it. Speed sensors seem to be a major problem, I know several ways of sorting this one. It appears there are 2 types used, does any one know for sure what threads were used?

western Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Do you want the extension bit you sent me back,?? even though somehow you screwed up the bolt hole locations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 You can do away with the speed sensor & plug the hole, the relay kit I bought from Devon4x4 doesn't use the sensor. But you have to remember to disengage OD below 30mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once I've got this one of Richards, send your overdrive back up if you want and I'll put some miles on it with my 110 so you can fit it with some faith on yours.

I can also make other bits fit and theres also an option 3 that's currently a secret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reb78 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Ralph, if its helpful to use a ramp, pop up. I cant offer much time to help but can offer use of my ramp so u can fit the OD. Makes very short work of the job. Local test drive and if there is a problem its quick to remove with the ramp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
