I'd like to know whether there is a preferred method for engagement of OD in a
TR4, or any other car with similar OD setup. I've always just flipped the
control lever on the column to engage. Sometimes it results in something of a
jolt. Well recently, and by accident, I engaged the clutch slightly, engaged
OD and then released the clutch. Now I did not depress the pedal as much as
if I was shifting, but just enough to disengage trans from engine for a
moment. The result was a very smooth shift into OD. Of course that may be my
answer. Even though this might result in a very small amount of wear to the
clutch, am I getting any benefit by not jolting the trans into OD?
thanks,
