This weekend just gone I drained the oil (which appeared to be a 90W gear oil), removed the sump, made up a tool and dismantled the oil control valves, high pressure filter and non-return valve. Recently I took the slack out of the diff rubber mounts and that got rid of the horrible banging but did nothing for the harshness. It was like this when I purchased the car as the PO made me aware of it. The gearbox is sweet to use but the overdrive engagement/disengagement has been so harsh that I have to use the cluch for fear of damaging something. The gearbox and overdrive units in my 73 CR were 'rebuilt' for the PO and I have no doubt that this was the case. I'm sure I've asked about this before but can't find the thread so here we go again.
