George,

You feel good because it is fixed, all is well, and you didn't have to spend money or tear apart the O/D to fix it.

I had an Austin Healey years ago exhibiting similar problems, after pulling the tranny tunnel and swapping out the relay, and testing the various electrical connections and the throttle switch (a feature thankfully omitted from Triumph O/Ds) it turned out to be a loose wire on the dash switch, a 30 second fix that tooks hours and days to diagnose. When the car was sitting the wire made pretty good contact, so it worked when tested in static mode, but driving down the road the wire bounced around and O/D juddered in and out.
