address a problem with the A type overdrive in my TR3A.<BR>
Rebuilt last winter, with 700 miles accrued over last summer, the <BR>
overdrive engages slowly, 6 seconds when cold 3 seconds when hot<BR>
using gear oil or, 3 seconds and 3 seconds using valvoline racing oil <BR>
20/50.<BR>
Disengages instantly. Is this indicative of anything specific.<BR>

If you are lucky it is merely and adjustment. The solenoid may be just barely lifting the rod. If you read the manual it tells you to set the adjustment using a drill bit in the hole in the lever. Don't believe it. It may have worked when the units were new but it frequently leaves you with a misadjusted solenoid. Try adding a bit more stroke to the adjustment. You may have to set it by trial and error.<BR>

This is by far the easiest potential fix so try it first before tearing into the filter screen or any other possible cause.<BR>
