[TR] J-Type Overdrive - Stag

[Lee&John Howard]

Yes, it switches in and out all by itself. When I then switch back to 4th
she behaves normally. I'll first check where the OD sub-harness meets the
wiring that goes up the shift lever. In that space several wire bunches are
scrunched together.
Thankyou Dave.
