[Healeys] OD-BJ8----on and on:)

Your problem is not the 30 wt oil vs MTL.I do not recall if you have mentioned who rebuilt the OD. Have you discussed this issue with them? If it is stuck in OD all the time, do not drive it in reverse or you will damage the OD. Gary Hodson

#yiv0199947297 body {min-height:100%;color:#000000;font-size:12pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;}So continuation of my search for OD problem answers.
today I jacked up the rear.  put it in  3rd, rev'ed up pretty good---flipped the OD sw---did not engage-----solenoid moving the arm up and down beautifully.  Removed the solonoid piston---ran it up in 3rd--manually moved the arm into 
OD position---did not go into OD.
So--OD does not engage---by this testing method I'm not sure if it is still IN OD or not-----last time I drove it is WAS in 
OD all the time---whether I flipped the switch or not.
So--------ASSUMING it is in OD all the time regardless of where the switch is--wouldn't that say that it is not a pressure problem??  If not, what could that mean?
ASSUMING is was NOT in OD as I was testing it, and wouldn't go into OD, could that mean a pressure problem?
With me moving the arm manually and not getting any reaction would that rule out a solenoid arm adjustment as the problem?
I'm still leaning toward a pressure problem---caused by----?????  

Guess next I'll try to do a pressure ck.  Steve---------if you would, please send the equipment.  Thanks
Appreciate all comments/advice.
ThanksTomPS---before I had the unit rebuilt, it operated beautifully---and I had Red Line MTL oil in it.  I'm thinking of dumping the 30w ND and adding MTL------wishful thinking probably.
