Hi Gang,
I think the answer of the OD operation has been discussed enough to confirm
the OD in question is working per spec. the guy driving it might be used to
the Ford overdrive transmission of the 50's The trans had a manual engagement
lever (not sure how it worked, just that it was like a choke cable came out
from
under the dash) and a "kickdown" switch on the floor. Those transmissions
would downshift if you stomped it with the OD engaged and then shift back up
when you got off the gas again. Might be what the guy is thinking...just a
thought and my nickels worth.
Cheers,
Dave Duffey

OK----After talking to him, I got the real scoop---------he says that after
he is in OD, in which he likes to leave it, and after slowing down and
then depressing the accelerator rapidly it should kick out of OD for more
rapid acceleration
