In order to kick down you have to turn the OD switch off. The throttle swit=
ch is meant to keep you from disengaging the overdrive while the throttle i=
s closed. Austin and DHM felt that put too much stress on the drive train. =
You have to open the throttle to get Revs up before the OD will disengage.

Interesting that he calls for non detergent oil. We have had this discussio=
n often in the past. That has always been my preference.

Yes.  The throttle switch keeps the overdrive engaged when the dash
switch is turned off.  The overdrive will disengage when the throttle is
partially depressed.
