Just looked at this subject .I have a overdrive on my essex v6 mk2 and it seems there are 2 types ,fixed spline and reverse spline. Mine is the same as madmarks (fixed spline). looking at madmarks nice clean chassi I wondered ,do you have a one piece prop or the split system(mines split system). If it is a one piece, do you find any difference in smoother gear changes.Im glad to have the overdrive as first gear is almost pointless and it helps on the mpg
