Subject: [Healeys] OD switch

Hi All 
      I installed the new OD brass drain plug with the o ring and so far 🤞🏻not a drip of oil anywhere. I think it’s a great design by Cape International. 
I did see someone posted about eliminating the od switch on the firewall and just needing to use the switch on the dash . No more needing to Blip the throttle to activate the od . Could that someone please explain the wiring needed to make this change . It sounds like another modern up grade to make our driving experience easier. 
      Thanks as always , Don

I know others will not agree, but I never liked that O/D cut-out on the =
firewall, neither did the previous (first) owner of the car.  He shorted =
it out and although I tried it for a few weeks I re-installed the jumper =
to take it out of the O/D circuit.  It is easy just connect the two =
terminals with jumper wire, the photo says it all.  I have run mine like =
that for 50 years.   I will add that I treat the O/D like and other gear =
and use the clutch when engaging and disengaging it, and blip the =
throttle on a downshift (dis-engage).  I think it just reduces the =
stress on the O/D.

Cheers, Mirek

As explained to me Dave Twigger the purpose of the kickdown switch is to
prevent the overdrive unit being subjected to reverse torque which it is
not designed to handle.
As I  understand it, if the overdrive is treated with respect, and the
clutch is used during disengagement there will be no problems but, if you
flip the switch off when cruising at high speed without using the clutch to
minimize the reverse loading on the overdrive, the planetary gear assembly
can be severly damaged.
The kickdown switch prevents this.

Yes, agreed. He said the same to me in a discussion as to why Triumphs =

Note the kickdown can be used to, uh, kick down. Say you're following 
slow traffic in top/OD, and you see a chance to pass coming up; you 
throw the dash switch and when it's clear you stomp on the accelerator 
pedal, the O/D will disengage and you're in a lower gear to pass. 
Doesn't work great--I usually drop a gear too--but it's doable. Note 
older cars with automatics usually have them, rigged to the throttle 
linkage.

Triumphs, and others, also have a beefier accumulator for faster 
engagement (a mod sold by DWM and others).

Well, in my opinion, it=E2=80=99s a bit like fitting a lightened =

what I mean!=20

I=E2=80=99ve got both, like them both but pretty much forget what it was =
like before I made the changes. Having said that, I would say that, if =
you=E2=80=99re digging around in the OD, you may as well put in the =
modern equivalents=E2=80=A6.beefier accumulator etc. Easy for me to say, =
over here in the UK, but I=E2=80=99d contact Dave and tell him what you =
want to achieve and ask him what you need. Then, with what I think is a =
decent exchange rate, buy it from him.

Note the kickdown can be used to, uh, kick down. Say you're following =
slow traffic in top/OD, and you see a chance to pass coming up; you =
throw the dash switch and when it's clear you stomp on the accelerator =
pedal, the O/D will disengage and you're in a lower gear to pass. =
Doesn't work great--I usually drop a gear too--but it's doable. Note =
older cars with automatics usually have them, rigged to the throttle =
linkage.

Triumphs, and others, also have a beefier accumulator for faster =
engagement (a mod sold by DWM and others).

    Note the kickdown can be used to, uh, kick down. Say you're
    following slow traffic in top/OD, and you see a chance to pass
    coming up; you throw the dash switch and when it's clear you stomp
    on the accelerator pedal, the O/D will disengage and you're in a
    lower gear to pass. Doesn't work great--I usually drop a gear
    too--but it's doable. Note older cars with automatics usually have
    them, rigged to the throttle linkage.<br clear=3D"none">

            purpose of the kickdown switch is to prevent the overdrive
            unit being subjected to reverse torque which it is not
            designed to handle.</p>=20

              is treated with respect, and the clutch is used during
              disengagement there will be no problems but, if you flip
              the switch off when cruising at high speed without using
              the clutch to minimize the reverse loading on the
              overdrive, the planetary gear assembly can be severly
              damaged.&nbsp;</p>=20

                  Say you're following slow traffic in top/OD, and you
                  see a chance to pass coming up; you throw the dash
                  switch and when it's clear you stomp on the
                  accelerator pedal, the O/D will disengage and you're
                  in a lower gear to pass. Doesn't work great--I usually
                  drop a gear too--but it's doable. Note older cars with
                  automatics usually have them, rigged to the throttle

                          is pretty much The Man in the UK overdrive
                          world. So far as I recall, his father-in-law
                          bought all the overdrive spares when Laycock
                          stopped manufacturing. Or something like that.
                          Bit like Fred at AH Spares? He’s a nice guy,
                          very helpful.)</span></p>

                          overdrive unit being subjected to reverse

                            I  understand it, if the overdrive is
                            treated with respect, and the clutch is used
                            during disengagement there will be no
                            problems but, if you flip the switch off
                            when cruising at high speed without using
                            the clutch to minimize the reverse loading
                            on the overdrive, the planetary gear
                            assembly can be severly damaged. </p>

                                  I installed the new OD brass drain

                            a drip of oil anywhere. I think it’s a great

                            I did see someone posted about eliminating
                            the od switch on the firewall and just
                            needing to use the switch on the dash . No
                            more needing to Blip the throttle to
                            activate the od . Could that someone please
                            explain the wiring needed to make this
                            change . It sounds like another modern up

I had my OD rerouted to the gear lever a la rally cars. Much more 
comfortable to use. Never did like having to reach for the switch.

It is easy just connect the two terminals with jumper wire, the photo says it all.  I have run mine like that for 50 years.   I will add that I treat the O/D like and other gear and use the clutch when engaging and disengaging it, and blip the throttle on a downshift (dis-engage).  I think it just reduces the stress on the O/D.

Wired in parallel so the dash switch is a backup.
