The bodies of three speed and four speed do look about the same. The tag on a four speed will start with HEH- something. You probably have a three speed. I believe there was a three speed overdrive , and I do believe you're supposed to stay away from it. Call David Kee and he'll tell you what it is.

why was the 3 speed over drive bad?

just wondering?

I think the 3 speed was just very weak. This IS the Cobra forum, if you're putting it into a cobra, I wouldn't. But maybe if your putting it into annother car to be correct, well I can see that. Like I said, give David a call @ 877-276-8081, he will know EXACTLY what you have and give you recommendations.
Good luck,
Tim
