<html><body><div>My rebuilt engine, now with Hastings Rings, is running great. This past weekend, the Triumph Travelers had a North County drive up around Sonoma, along the coast through Tamales Bay, Bodega Bay and all around. 440 miles over two days.</div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div>Now the problem</div><div>When I rebuilt the engine I also purchased an OD transmission and had it rebuilt. I think I wrote about this before so I apologize, but I'm dropping off my car with British Motorsports later today, who rebuilt the transmission, and they are going to try and figure out the problem.</div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div>Since day one, it will shift into OD only when letting up on the gas or coasting. If I'm accelerating it will not shift into OD until I let up on the gas. Once in OD and am cruising along, especially in 2nd or 3rd gear, if I punch it, it will drop out of OD just like an automatic transmission. Then when I let up, it will shift back into OD. Obviously doing this under increased load or torque. It will also do it in 4th gear, just not as easily. , just not as easily. When getting to a hill and I start to accelerate quite a bit, it will downshift out of OD. Then crest the hill and let up, and it will shift back into OD.</div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div>A few weeks ago I dropped the car off with British Motorsports so they could diagnose the problem and the hydraulic pump is over 400psi, the clutch is not slipping, the solenoids are working fine.</div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div>I know there will be a lot of suggestions which I plan to forward the emails to them, and am hoping there will be something they haven't checked yet.</div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div>Rye</div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div>PS: For those of you who are at all curious, we had 16 Triumphs on the drive.
