Hi everybody..well, my old buddy Mike has talked me into taking my Hawk to the NEXT level, wherever that is, and I agreed..so she's getting rewired, new radiator, water pump, etc. We're going to pull the engine and trans out and fix whatever leaks we can. My overdrive has given me cause for concern..it drops into OD fine, works as advertised, drops out of OD and freewheels below 28 mph..so far, so good. However, on occasion, it will be VERY slow to re-engage into normal operation, so when I take off in first, or if I have slowed down but remain in second, as I give it the gas I will get a "clunk" and BOOM, THEN it shifts down into the standard gearing. Freaks me out. I know the OD is electrically operated, wondering if my wiring, solenoid relay or governor is gettin old or dirty and I have some high resistance. I say that because after I rev the engine up, even sitting still, the OD finally dis-engages..Also, i know it might be a little slow to operate when cold due to the 90 weight gear oil, I'm used to that..this is after she's warmed up.
