[TR] Overdrive Quirk

Strange new problem with the overdrive in my TR4A. When the engine's cool,
it works fine. When warmed up - maybe 10-15 minutes - it has a tendency to
drop out while the OD relay inside the car chatters noisily. It goes in and
out of overdrive at will. I bought a new relay and experience the same
problem but it takes longer to happen and remains in OD for longer periods,
but eventually drops out by itself. Same relay chatter.
I thought I could use a relay from Radio Shack but cannot seem to make it work
at; it is intended to switch higher current, as in high-wattage headlights or
horns. I'll try that again, anyway.
The gearbox is filled with oil. Could I have two bad relays? What am I
missing?
Thanks!
George
