Dave, it was effectively always thus. Overdrive third and direct fourth were=
very close on all cars where overdrive was offered as an option. Similarly,=
there wasn=E2=80=99t a lot to choose between overdrive second and direct th=
ird. The main selling point we emphasised was that in heavy traffic, it was a=
lot easier to flick the switch in and out, rather than keep pumping away on=
the clutch pedal and cog swapping. In fact, that was one of the key feature=
s of the Laycock unit. Too many people look on it mainly as a higher gear ab=
ove fourth but that was not the original idea. Try storming a mountain pass w=
ith its serpentine bends using only second and second overdrive, or one up o=
n the tree, and you then really appreciate its value :)
