Tom,
My first Healey was a BJ8 that I bought from So Cal (Hemet and
Riverside). The Overdrive was always slow to kick in after I hit the
dash switch. I did not know any better until I drove someone else's car
and wow, it was quick. It too would sometime jump out, after being hot.
Sometime later, the switch gave out altogether and the replacement
allows the OD to pop right in fast and it never jumps out of OD again.

Subject: overdrive jumps out
Tom Felts ...the mostlikly cause is the isolator switch on the side of
the gearbox is faulty OR incorrect solenoid adjustment on the side of
the overdrive , to adjust it correctly see Healey Highlights Jan. 1987
OR page 54 in my Tech Talk book , follow the instructions exactly ....
