Hope someone can help........
I've been having problems with my overdrive, which I thought I had repaired with the assistance of a hammer!....This turned out to be a temporary fix only.
The overdrive on my 62' BJ7 works great from cold and for about the first 15- 20 miles of a run and then for no apparent reason either drops out (if engaged) or refuses to engage (if in direct top).
If I stop the car for 30 mins, all is OK again.
The car runs at normal operating temprature, (160-180, and shows no sign of overheating, (I have checked the bulb on the temp Sender and it is operating correctly.
All wiring appears OK and the "kick down" switch is working correctly.
The problem first occured when driving hard on a Dual Carrigeway road, (sort of little Freeway!).
If anyone has any idea's they would be appreciated..
Cheers
Alan
