Thinking of putting an overdrive transmission in My series V. Is there any problem fitting an earlier series transmission? I believe they are all non-synchro, or is synchro on some earlier models? Anyone know sources other than ebay?

Later SIV and SV are all-synch, earlier ones are non-sync on 1st gear.
The complete OD/Trans unit is interchangeable but there are some differences between the late and early overdrive components than can prevent component swaps between systems (IE the OD to trans adapters differ due to trans case differences between early and late transmissions).
