 The overdrive gearbox is easy to spot as it fits to the back of the standard gearbox and is large. The " solenoid " you speak of is not the reversing lights switch is it?

None of the JH came out with the overdrive gearbox but there are lots of cars that use the Hillman / Rootes gearbox, which means there are gearboxes that can be fitted to the Jensen Healey bellhousing and installed into the Jensen.

Attached is photo of a gearbox out of a Sunbeam rapier with the overdrive attached.

Not my car or photograph so cant give any other details.
