[Healeys] o/d problem

[Laurie Wilford]

My overdrive did the same for a number of years initially when it was hot and later every time I accelerated. I liked the "automatic kick-down" and chose not to repair the overdrive until it became worse.
After a number of years the overdrive began dropping out when I put my turn signals on to pass! Again, a bit annoying but this added to the car's personality.
I chose to replace the firewall mounted relay, since the turn signal drop out eventually became annoying.
A new relay fixed both the acceleration and turn signal drop outs!

now that we are in the triple digits here in vegas i have noticed that my overdrive kicks out when i accelerate and then drops back in when speed is reached.  i assume that the accumulator has worn and is not holding pressure.  anything else i should look at before going the major repair route.
