G'day

Thank you to those who responded concerning how best to adjust the overdriv=
e throttle switch.

Well I did what was suggested and have the overdrive cutting out when the a=
ccelerator is pressed about a fifth of the throttle opening.

I wish that was as simple as that, because what's happening next is confusi=
ng.

What's happening is that I could be driving along in top overdrive. Flick t=
he switch to "Normal" and it behaves as it should, staying in overdrive. Pr=
ess down on the accelerator and it changes down to direct top. So far so go=
od.
Ease up on the accelerator and does it stay in direct top? No, it goes back=
 into overdrive even though the dash switch is still on "Normal".

Any ideas?

Hoo Roo
