I have had my TR4A transmission converted to an A-type OD by  noted specialist, 
and the removal/installation service was done by a reputable shop.
 
I just got it back and the OD seems to work perfectly in 4th gear.  
 
In Third, It will work for a short time, then goes out of OD.  It appears that 
it is related to the isolator switch.  If I gently push the shifter forward, it 
stays in OD just fine.  If I pull it back slightly (still in 3rd), it does out 
of OD, and when I push it slightly forward again, OD re-engages.
 
In second gear, it does not ever engage OD. I did not see the transmission 
after the conversion, so I do not know IF there is a 2nd gear isolator switch.  
But, I think there OUGHT to be..
 
I picked up the car at the end of last week, and I am sure the shops will make 
good on a perfectly functioning OD.  But I want to know if this is a simple 
adjustment issue.  Maybe I can do it myself.  I can get the car on a lift and 
do the work from below if it were feasible.
 
I would rather not pull the interior to access the top, but maybe it is 
necessary.
 
Any advice/experience with this sort of issue?
