J type Overdrive


Recommended Posts

Just rebuilt the gearbox on my 6 and on the test run felt the overdrive kick in without being switched on and it will not disengage.

Later I checked that the solenoid is working correctly using the column switch. I replaced the 'O' rings on the operating pistons, the 3 'sump' plugs and the solenoid of the overdrive. I've checked that the relief valve is correctly fitted and I'm at a loss to know what the fault could be. Help please Brian King

You must have a short on the power side of the electrics first of all for it to engage without selection, check the wiring of your inhibitor switches.Make sure the power is disconnected to the solenoid and see if it disengages or if it disengages when it cools down. If not a tap with a copper/hide mallet on the rear casing may help.
