Just being a nice guy............loaned my 6 to a friends son for the prom
and..........just thought it would be good to jump at the chance at
interesting the younger generation in lbc's.
Anyway.......backed it our of the garage and found that the car would not
back up very easily. Kind of a binding/braking feeling. Then something
would give quickly (like a snap or something) and it would back up more
easily but still felt braked. I then took it on a run and everything worked
well in all four forward gears. However switched on the overdrive and it
did not work. could not get it to work at all during the 10 minute drive.
Back home again and did the reverse thing and same problem.
I have all the cut out switches hooked up properly. Although am not sure
they all work. I am pretty sure the forward gear cut out switches work but
maybe reverse cutout did not work and the kid used overdrive and backed up
during the evening.
Question is:
Has anyone else had this experience? Is this a trashed overdrive or
tranny (reverse gear)? Rearend? Just a switch thing, and od may be stuck in
the ON position?
I just finished (over the winter) rewiring the od properly, getting a new
solenoid, new tranny plastic cover......everything was working perfectly!!! :(
Oh well.......maybe I peaked an interest in lbc's in a couple young kids!
any suggestions would be very helpful!!
