If your overdrive relay goes bad, then it's possible to power the overdrive
solenoid through the throttle switch only. Once you step on the gas,
though, you open the throttle switch contacts and the overdrive drops out.
You can test the relay by turning on the ignition and the overdrive dash
switch. Pull off the white/green wires from relay terminal C2 and check to
see if you have 12 volts at the terminal.

Subject: [Healeys] OD problem
Beautiful day here in Eastern Ontario (Canada). Just arrived back from a 5
hour tour. Stopped once to get gas and once to get wine for dinner. In the
last hour of the trip something funny happened to the OD. When engaging I
always lift my foot very slightly off the pedal-so far so good. As soon as I
put the slightest pressure on the pedal it would dis-engage. Happened all
the
time for this last hour.
Yesterday I changed the oil in the tranny to MTL-90-any relationship?
I am to tired to check anything today so I am just throwing this problem out
to the group now.
