When mine goes into OD it feels like she's settling in for a cruise. It's very
satisfying.
Speaking of her, Healey Data put her in this year's calendar. Check out
November. It's a photo the previous owner used in the eBay add.

I know all of you are on the edge of your chairs waiting to hear my opinion on
this subject. So here goes. A well restored Healey is a wonderful experience
to drive with all its smells, sounds & tactile sensations & a big part of that
experience for me is the original, well restored transmission & overdrive.
At a recent "Spring Thing" event, participants were ask to submit a short
story describing their drive in the Healey that day. The stories were read
aloud at the awards dinner. In the most memorable story (according to me) the
author wrote that when the driver flicked the switch in & out of overdrive, it
made her tingle. I've never heard of a modern transmission doing that!
