The Saturn overdrive is a fully synchronized unit that can be shifted-on-the-fly. When installing the unit, only minor modifications are required to the floorboard for the shifter. The Saturn is built to handle up to 300 ft./lbs. of torque, well within the range of a stock V8.
The Saturn is the original unit designed and developed by Warn Industries. The units were offered with the 6 and 10 spline internal assembly and the 26, 27 or 29 tooth output gear.
The Saturn overdrive installs directly on the backside of the transfer case through the inspection cover. No cutting or modification of the drivetrain is required. No relays and electrical connections required.

These are cool units. In 1970-1971 I drove my dad's CJ-5 with one to school. He had the Warn overdrives on both his CJ-5 and his old Willys. In 1970 the retail price for the kit was $325, so today's price seems reasonable.

Definitely want to see the demo video.

You got it man!! I’ll work on that next week.

[@That_ole_Dodge]

Great instructions and videography. A driving/shifting video would be great.

[@redeyecafegarage7484]

Thank you! I’ll definitely get a driving video for y’all soon! 👍

[@kevinbrewer9421]

The best overdrive installation video yet ! Thank you for taking the time to show everyone the process! If I could I would like to ask you for a very brief summary of how you adapted the the mo617 to a B&W t18? On your CJ5. I looking to do the same.

[@redeyecafegarage7484]

Thank you! I’m glad you found the video informative. For the om617 I decided to just buy the adapter. It was so cheap I couldn’t justify making it. I got it from Mercedes diesel 4x4. Im not sure they’re in business anymore though. 🤷‍♂️

[@kevinbrewer9421]

Thanks for the help. I'm assuming the kit came with engine plate and flywheel. I will look into that kit. Thanks again.

When I installed my Warn Overdrive more than 40 years ago in my Willys Wagon l did not have to measure the depth. And the syncro ring was already installed. SBC powered. Rebuilt the T90 a couple of times. No problem removing and installing. The Warn has had no problems after all these years. Just make sure the transfer case has oil. Tapered bearings in the intermediate gear works great.

[@redeyecafegarage7484]

Measuring is just a good way to check for any major variances in cases. I’ve installed a lot of these and never needed shims. These were a lot cheaper and easier to come by back in the day so not as much case was taken with the install. The design and procedure has not changed. Advanced adapters purchased this design from warn. The part is exactly the same. 👍

Great video, very informative. Thank you Installing mine on a 1948 CJ2A now.

Thanks for the great video! I wish there were such overdrive units for my Land Rover :(

[@redeyecafegarage7484]

I’m almost positive they do make something very similar for rovers.

[@hayeslose7624]

Oh, how easy it looks when the trans is out of the Jeep. Whoever designed this Overdrive should have been hung out after designing the locking tab and snap ring method. When under the vehicle it is useful to be a contortionist to get the tab and snap ring installed.

[@redeyecafegarage7484]

Yeah it’s definitely easier this way. Filming it properly while under the vehicle would have been rather problematic.

[@birdhunter5541]

Awesome video!! Demo please!!!

[@redeyecafegarage7484]

Sure! I can make that happen!

[@dougekren6495]

I have a late model 18 ,does it have hi and low range. I really don't know ? Also just subbed, thanks again.

[@redeyecafegarage7484]

Hi! All the spicer 18’s have hi and low range. 👍 thank you for the sub!

[@nextechsolutions5955]

Are you familiar with Swepco Gear Oil?!? They claim reduced foaming, temperatures and extended life of the oil. The Land Rover guys in the UK swear by it. Keep up the good work.

[@redeyecafegarage7484]

I haven’t heard of them… thankfully I haven’t had any issues with foaming. People (including myself) have been running cheap 90w gear oil in these things for decades with no issues. As long as you keep the levels up they hold up great!

[@randyhughes5160]

I this the same over drive for a jeep truck t90

[@redeyecafegarage7484]

Yes

[@jrforeman279]

It looked like there was a neutral between overdrive and direct? Is it?

[@redeyecafegarage7484]

Technically There is a neutral but I would always recommend using the transfer case neutral…not the overdrive.

[@amysasina5521]

Can you let us know where you got that Saturn shifter knob. I cannot find it anywhere.

[@redeyecafegarage7484]

It comes with the overdrive or overdrive shift kit when you order it from Kaiser Willys
