Why Overdrive? 120-130 1967

In a similar vehicle (the 122s' M41 is on the garage floor as yet) I had an OD tranny and it was sweeeeet. Then the solenoid decided to die and it was still a hoot around town and for short bursts but any long trip (out here in the West) was torture as the noise level was higher, mileage lower and heat generated greater. In short, short trips were fine but long trips were very tiresome.

for what it's worth
