[Healeys] Overdrive Munched?

[David Nock]

The overdrive will hang up for several reasons.
	1.	If the bleed hole in the operating rod is plugged the overdrive  
will be very slow to come out.
	2.	The solenoid is adjusted to move to far the clutch will jam  
against the anulus
	3.	The isolator switch is faulty and overdrive switch is on
	4.	Bent operating rod
		
Usually when the overdrive sticks on and you have backed up to far  
the unidrive will try to work backwards and break apart
