Gearbox problem


Recommended Posts

Just been out for a spin in the 6, and noticed that the J type overdrive appeared to be randomly engaging in 2nd 3rd & 4th gear with the switch on the steering column in the off position. Once home I tried overdrive with ignition on and could hear solenoid in 3rd/4th gear, am concerned that overdrive might engage whilst reversing into garage. Has anyone else had experience of this problem and if so could you point me in the right direction.any advice would be most appreciated.

Probably this will be an electrical gremlin - the circuitry earthing and energising the relay.

Pull the wire that feeds the power to the solenoid off and see if the overdrive ceases to engage. If so the problem is with the wiring.

If not there is a major gremlin in the o/d but that's vastly less likely!
