Yes, I believe the kickdown function is unaffected, but I was referring to the manual lockout, which I like to have and do use fairly often.

I agree with you. Plenty of moderate hills around here where I prefer to climb in 3rd, rather than be drifting in and out of OD.

And what is so "notorious" about the relay-controlled solenoid circuit anyway, except maybe the "toggling" relay? Is it the "negative logic" on the panel indicator light (upshift, or "OD Off)?

Seems like the AW 70/71 operation is basically the same as with the M46 OD, where we energize the solenoid for OD and deenergize for direct drive.

But no one seems to get their knickers in a twist with the M46 solenoid.

What am I missing?
