I have had a similar problem on my BN 2 for over a year. It would stop working at random. Usually worked when cold and would often go hundreds of miles without a problem. I now believe I have an int

In my case I found that by overextending the solenoid plunger a millimeter or two (that small a difference) it would never work. The theory was that car vibration or bumps would bring the plunger bac

There seems to be significantly less vibration and noise when driving in overdrive with my 100M. However, switching in or out of overdrive gives the drive train quite a jolt unless I use the clutch w

If the throttle switch is adjusted and working properly, there will be no significant jolt when coming out of overdrive on deceleration. The switch keeps the overdrive engaged until the throttle is
