- This problem is often caused by the lockout switch not making constant contact. When it happens next, push the shift lever to the right. If the overdrive then stays engaged, the lockout switch may b

- Lawrie, isn't there a vacuum-operated throttle switch also? My memory may be faulty, but I've recently done a lot of reading of the manuals in solving my OD prob. CR
