Re: OD Questions 200 1982

Guys,

do not use clutch(Stop pussy footing these OD's)

stay on the gas and flip the button. and it should go into OD right there!

the "wear-and-tear" you save by pressing the clutch you loose in

more wear and tear in clutch cable and pressure plate.!

the OD clutch is a very similar to a clutch in an automatic trans.

Also the OD has a planitary gear, designed to be shifted underload and

at speeds.

You have to be a little rough with it otherwise you can get glazing of

the cone clutch(making the OD "lazy")!

If the OD still hesitates i'd look into oil level first....the OD oil comes

from the 4 speed section of the transmission but can drop low without

notice when you check the level in the main box.

Next I'd replace the actuating pistons with the new style with Teflon

(Oh My, not the dreaded Teflon, hihi) seals.

If you have access to a Hi pressure Oil Pressure gauge, check the OD pressure while driving.

(These OD boxes are far more bullet proof than most people think!)

hope this helps

jv
