Hi, Paul.
I've tried a touch of throttle whilst coming out of O/D. This is certainly
better than diesngaging it on over-run but a dip of the clutch makes things
even smoother.
BTW, I've met the vac-operated device before, on a very early, pull-handle
Bill Nicholson competition B Roadster *and* on an Austin A106 Westminster I
tested for Practical Classics. These both worked but not better than the
aforementioned touch of throttle.
