- While the subject of overdrives is being discussed, I have come across ongoing problems with the overdrive of my 66BJ8. The overdrive is filled with 30 WT non-detergent oil and after running the engi

- Fred, the solenoid will stay engaged when the switch is turned off until you accelerate beyond about 1? of pedal movement. The bolts on the overdrive adjustment are 7/16 or a 1/4 British which are al

- Fred, It sounds like you may need to check the overdrive throttle switch on the firewall. If it is not activating (deactivating) or set properly the electrical circuit to the solenoid is not broken e

- Fred, I don?t fully understand the issue. My experience with OD?s is that the lever could be misadjusted if it lines up with the hole. Counter intuitive I know, but parts wear. That said, when drivin

- Fred, it seems that you have tried everything and I can understand your frustrations. Without seeing the solenoid/lever connection, I would suggest that the lever may be too tight to the solenoid cor

- The operating through shaft is supposed to have about 10 thou end float to stop binding at either end. Perhaps try increasing this a touch as this might be causing it to hang up ? rg Fred, it seems t

- Hi Fred, If you are trying to determine if there is voltage being applied to the solenoid you are best to connect a wire to the solenoid side of the gear lever switch near the bottom of the gear leve

- I've heard of the overdrive failing to disengage due to the clutch lining sticking to the brake ring. I'm not sure why that would happen other than excessive wear on one or the other or possibly the
