Sure seems like it is a poor adjustment of the isolator switches. It is =
easy enough to adjust them but you will have to take the trans cover off =
to get to them, I don=E2=80=99t believe there is any way to do it from =
underneath. Your top cover may not have a the hole for a cut out switch, =
you would have to drill and tap it to install one.=20

Subject: [TR] A-type OD questions
=20
I have had my TR4A transmission converted to an A-type OD by noted =
specialist, and the removal/installation service was done by a reputable =
shop.=20
=20
I just got it back and the OD seems to work perfectly in 4th gear. =20
=20
In Third, It will work for a short time, then goes out of OD. It =
appears that it is related to the isolator switch. If I gently push the =
shifter forward, it stays in OD just fine. If I pull it back slightly =
(still in 3rd), it does out of OD, and when I push it slightly forward =
again, OD re-engages.=20
=20
In second gear, it does not ever engage OD. I did not see the =
transmission after the conversion, so I do not know IF there is a 2nd =
gear isolator switch. But, I think there OUGHT to be..=20
=20
I picked up the car at the end of last week, and I am sure the shops =
will make good on a perfectly functioning OD. But I want to know if =
this is a simple adjustment issue. Maybe I can do it myself. I can get =
the car on a lift and do the work from below if it were feasible.=20
=20
I would rather not pull the interior to access the top, but maybe it is =
necessary.=20
=20
Any advice/experience with this sort of issue?=20
