All,
I'm not sure if I understood correctly what the best thing to do is for those
of us (probably only me) that don't have the O/D relay.
Should I
1) depress the clutch before flipping the switch (both in and out) as though I
was going into another gear
2) lift off the accelerator before flipping the switch
Thanks,
Phil

That's too bad. I rather liked it. IIRC, when you brought the revs back up
and then let off the gas, the OD would kick back in.
