Recently had the OD quit working. First time in 52 yrs. Luck? Removed tunne=
l and checked electrics and switches and solenoid seemed to work. Some hesi=
tancy with solenoid at first. Replaced solenoid and interrupter switch as t=
hese were original parts and with close to 200K on the car thought it prude=
nt to do so. Tranny oil topped off regularly and drained and cleanout of sc=
reen and magnets every two years. Using Redline MT90 for many years. Before=
 that used ND 30wt.

Now I got it to go into OD. Every time. The good news. But it takes a loooo=
ng time. Many seconds. Just flip the switch at speed and =E2=80=9Ceventuall=
y=E2=80=9D it slowly slides into OD. Not crisp and instant like before. The=
 bad news. It disengages normally as before. Flip, depress clutch slightly,=
 blip accelerator.

I=E2=80=99ve researched the archives as much as possible on all the forums =
but am hesitant to proceed without forum\list wisdom.
