My "new" 80 B has OD. TheP.O always used the clutch to engage/disengage. The owners manual says no clutching is necessary. What is the concensus ?? Thanks, Gene AD-B (say it fast)

It certainly isn't necessary but I can tell you that when I take my car out of overdrive at hi speeds that it'll shift down hard enough to "chirp" the tires. As a result I sometimes do use the clutch

This kind of post pops up now and then. What I don't understand is: If the manual clearly says how to do something, whoin'ell cares what the consensus is?? CR

I am wise enough to not debate this with Lawrie, I have always let off the gas when shifting up doing it around 3-3500 and it works pretty well. But I have noticed that it is a little rough getting

Hi Lawrie, Allthough I don't clutch, I second your opinion. Especcially: when you hear a cluck anywhere, it's time to consider whats wrong. Take care of your car and support a much longer life than i

On the contrary, the manual, as Lawrie said, was written about a new unit, and engineers often work under "ideal" conditions. But who wants to rebuild their overdrive because it clunks, if you can m
