The Roverdrive is a modern state of the art epicylical unit that can be fitted to the transfer case of a Series Land Rover to provide an additional 28% higher ratio above 4th gear. . Unlike previous designs of Land Rover overdrives the "ROVERDRIVE" unit does not have an exclusive oil reservoir. At the time of installation a small amount of oil is poured into the overdrive housing. As the vehicle is driven oil is pumped from the transfer case into the overdrive by means of a simple Archimedes screw on the overdrive main shaft. This incoming oil lubricates the main thrust bearing in passing and is added to oil in the overdrive. Surplus oil in the overdrive housing overflows down the tubular main shaft, lubricates all coupling components and returns to the transfer case.
