[Healeys] Overdrive problem

[Earl Kagna]

Steve:

I strongly second David's motion - it has happened to me.  It can be 
intermittent if the debris is floating around inside the operating valve 
rod - very frustrating to diagnose!

The good thing is that it is one of the easiest fixes to do on the 
overdrive - from the top with the tunnel cover off.

Let us know.

The operating rod that lifts the actuating check ball has a very
small bleed hole about 1/3 down the rod if this hole is plugged it
will be slow at disengaging.
