m46 slipping when cold
When the car is warmed up it doesn't seem to have any issues.
But three times this past week while on a hill facing upwards it felt like the clutch didn't want to engage. Eventually I just pop it as it were and it does engage and go. Have never run into this on a manual tranny in my 40 years of driving.
Any suggestions?
Also recommendations on where to get a new top cap for the shifter? Mine has a crack in it and I would like to replace it.
Thanks in advance folks,
Scott

It might be more economical to put a used m47 5 speed in than finding someone who knows enough about an overdrive unit to fix it right the first time. I certainly would not touch one - don't have the special tools needed anymore.

Voluparts.com in Atlanta 404-352-3402 might have your shift cap.

I would imagine finding a good electric overdrive might not be easy - and there's no way to tell if it's going to work until you bolt in onto the trans. (they come off the back of the trans with the trans still in the car)
The m47 pure 5 speed has it's problems - but it looks like you already own one of those so you should be aware of them. Might source one of those used -

But from your other post - it seem you already have a parts car with a m47 just waiting to get transplanted.
