So, you have an electrically controlled overdrive on your Tiger?

Although most non-users think about an “8 speed” transmission, it really never
works out that way, even with the 3 spd. OD on the ‘41 Studebaker in my MG. 1st
OD is usually like 2nd direct, except unable to accept the torque, 2nd OD is
like 3rd direct, 3rd OD is like 4th direct, so you end up using it only in
high.
It is useful, however, for a quick downshift, if your not busy doing something
else with your hands.

Don't know, Larry. They kill themselves trying to make it quieter. Doesn't your
wheel return cancel it? Would accept “Die Valkerie”, instead? Makes it go
faster! {9->
