HELP! OD prob tracked down, but I need advice

[xvivalve]

Oh well. I was hoping for a separate 4th, as I don't really want it on 3rd (or 2nd).

Graham

That's simple; don't flick the switch when in 3rd!

...or you can weld up the detent in the selector bar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's not, not flipping the switch in 3rd that's the problem as much as remembering to flip back before leaving 4th. But I guess the jump from OD4 to 3 would be nearly as annoying as OD3 to 2nd. Though perhaps not nearly so much as OD2 to 1st. That must be a bit of a shock.

This is just my laziness speaking up here....
I see where Robsport sell a small wiring loom for Stags gearbox and overdrive.

And the gear lever switch downwards is easily available too.

But, do any of the vendors make or sell a wiring loom for the Sprints gearbox and overdrive?
I emailed Simon at Robsport and got a NO from them.

I could if you or someone sends the old ones to copy.

I really like it on 3rd. On an incline I like to hold 3rd then o/d it and if I start slowing just flick out and Im good to keep pulling. Its a bit odd when you forget its in o/d and shift from the 3rd to 4th and you get the slight delay though .

The plastic multi pin connector is different to my car, but is easily modified.
I'll order one ASAP.
Thanks & Cheers,

It doesn’t appear to include the bit that goes up the stick to the switch; the terminals there have to be very small in order to fit within the knob...

I had to resort to the large warning light - 18W amber on the right side of the dash. The red was 18W oil pressure warning. Worked but I'm sure a smaller version would be fine in a road car.

Those terminals on the overdrive switch are small - i used 2.8mm spade terminals + some 1mm cable to renew mine.

I don't get that, it seems to stay in OD on the change.

I specifically checked this recently on the Herald, and that spitfire IV box (I think - reverse is up and left) stays in OD while in neutral, as long as the stick is over to the right hand side - I can hear the solonid operating with OD selected and moving the gear stick left-right in neutral. That used to have OD in all gears, including reverse. But it's better now.

I have yet to do that test with the Doly cos the mechanic who fitted the speedo cable disabled the OD - I assume he broke a wire. I intend to take the tunnel up and look at that asap.

Its like the inhibitor switch momentarily disconnects then re-connects when the selector moves to 4th on mine.
