Thanks, I'll forward to the mechanic for them to double check.

One other thing occurs to me; that might possibly have gotten overlooked.
On the A-type OD, there are 8 springs that hold the sliding clutch member in
the direct drive position. The hydraulic cylinders compress those springs
to move the member into the OD position. The springs are two different
lengths, but it's not unusual for the longer ones to have sagged until the
difference is not obvious.
If the originally longer springs (which are also heavier wire) are
accidentally installed in the inner position (where the shorter springs
should go), you may be getting coil bind just as the OD clutch engages.
Nelson mentioned this problem in the Buckeye articles. He saw it on the
bench while testing with air, but depending on tolerances, it might not show
up until driving.
