Richard, I had an intermittent OD engagement issue this summer on my =
BT7. I found that the bakelite on the end of the lockout switch had =
broken and so it was not consistently engaging (i.e. completing the =
circuit in 3rd and 4th. I have no idea if it is the same switch as the =
BJ8, but it is an easy check to pull it out. Make sure you save any =
washers/shims as the depth of the plungers is set up by shimming the =
switch.

Cheers, Mirek

Gents,
The solenoid and switch preceding it are twenty years old on my BJ8. In =
the past few months it operated unpredictably. I've pulled the tranny =
cover and demonstrated that the solenoid was failing to engage though =
power was coming to the switch. Before I could test to see if current =
was coming out of the switch to the solenoid, the later suddenly =
engaged. I was unable to reproduce failure of the solenoid to engage. =
The intermittent failure must be either due to the switch or the =
solenoid itself. Which is most likely to be the culprit? TIA.
