Hope this helps.

Subject: '75B OD problem
<bold><color><param>0000,8080,8080</param>Hi all, If this was covered in
the last OD discussion I missed it. Problem: OD cuts out and it always
seems to happen after the car's been running a few miles. Sometimes
switches back and forth, in quick succession, and sometimes doesn't
engage at all. Oil level is good, and I don't know what else to look
for. (By the way, is it supposed to work in third gear? Mine doesn't.) =
=20
In my last(first message) I rather arrogantly stated that I used to be
obsessed...well, it's coming back! What's the best owners manual to
get?
Went to Vancouver recently and my baby performed like a true
champ..except for the OD, which was probably just as well as there was
radar set up in more than a few places. On the whole trip I only had to
gear down once, for the hill approaching the toll booth on the
Coquihalla. Next trip has to be via the Fraser Canyon; much more=20
fun.
Thanks, Linda
