[Healeys] overdrive not working

[Alan Seigrist]

Jess -

The OD on the BN1 is a very reliable unit, it rarely goes bad.  First check
oil level, then check OD solenoid to see if it is working.  Chances are it
is one of those things.

DO NOT use hypoid gear oil in the gearbox - it can blow up your OD.  You
must use motor oil or Redline MTL/MT90.
