1. [Fot] A type overdrive problem (score: 1)

The OD on my TR6 stopped working so I did the trouble shooting process in Dan Master's electrical manual and found I have voltage all through the circuit all the way to the bullet that connects the (

Yes there's a relay and it clicks when the OD selector switch is thrown. It passes all the voltage tests for the brown, the white, the yellow purple wires. I get voltage through it to the yellow purp

Sounds like a grounding problem. Did you measure the voltage at the solenoid between the bullet connector and the ground of the battery? I would also try running a ground wire direct from the battery

Yes I tested it and got continuity from the solenoid body to the transmission and to the body. As far as I can tell the solenoid grounds itself with the bolts used to attach it to it's bracket on the

It could be a high resistance path in the wiring harness. You would get 12v but not enough current to throw the solenoid. Check the voltage with the solenoid on and off. _____________________________

When I test at the wire soldered to the solenoid (with the plastic cap removed so I can get to it) that is when it is "clogged up" and the meter reads in the hundredths of volts not 12.75. Others hav

I'm assuming that when you tested the solenoid on a separate battery you were putting the 12 volts to the bullet connector and the ground or negative battery terminal to the case of the solenoid. Tha

Bud, have you tried another relay? I had a bad relay on my street TR4 and I seem to recall that it behaved similarly. When I ran an OD in my race TR3 I did not use the relay, just used a heavy duty s

You may just have a bad earth to the solenoid via the gearbox itself. On most the black wire is fastened to the gearbox via a circular bolt fastening onto one of the top cover bolts. If the cover is

Speaking of relays, the new ones currently on the market are junk. Some fail after just a few clicks. I had a Moss supplied 6RA last maybe 20 cycles last year. I've got a part number for a reliable B

Durite (Gordon equipment) also supply some very good relays and flasher units which seem very good in service - I use these on the rally TR4 and no problems. Same goes for their flasher units. Regard

I used a very simple wiring scheme on my TR3 which allowed overdrive in all but reverse. I used a commodity Bosch relay. The shipping cost more than the relay. You can find a diagram at: http://www.6
