Overdrive fault
Asking for opinions please. My Jet has developed a fault, when kicking down from overdrive, occasionally, the engine revs madly and then the direct drive engages with a huge "clunk". When free wheeling, below cut-in speed, the drive rollers engage smoothly every time. I have checked the kick-down switch, and it works fine. Has me puzzled, so asking if anyone else has had similar problems.

Geoff,I don't claim to be an expert but it sounds to me that the wiring to short out the coil briefly and allow the overdrive to disengage is not functioning. Take a look at the overdrive wiring picture in the manual and check to see that it is OK in the car.Ed
