[Fot] Overdrive adjustment Urgent! TR4 Detroit Locker problem, locks wheels going backwards

[AC]

Good you solved it ! 

Just one thought : when adjusting the overdrive, the official procedure (lever aligned with the hole) does not always work (due to wear or other factors). Mine slipped with the official adjustment. You have to adjust it with a pressure gauge (and the adaptor) based on the gauge readings and you will get it right 100%. On mine the correct lever adjustment was pretty far from the official hole alignment setting.

I do not have the info at hand (in the home PC), but I can forward the pressures etc t if you need, or you may find the details in the forum’s archive.

All the best for the Elkhart Lake WE!

Problem solved. The OD was engaged!! The operating lever was not adjusted properly. Once out of OD, the Detroit Locker worked just fine. We will be at Elkhart lake this weekend!!!!

We will adjust the operating lever per the Triumph Workshop Manual and should then have the OD solenoid working properly. 

Thanks for all the responses, much appreciated. Glad was an easy fix.
