I usually engage overdrive under acceleration (happens a lot with my driving
style!) and I get no jolt, this is with A and D type overdrives, I've not had
many J types. Engagement on the overrun or when cruising gets a jolt. When
coming out of overdrive I usually blip the throttle as I would when double
declutching on a downshift - this also eliminates any jolt.
Cheers,
Bill.
