Hoping ya'll can help point me in the right direction. I've been pulling my hair out chasing an intermittent slip in my overdrive. Most everything is new or NOS, so I suspect something is off in the rollers or cage. Maybe even tailhousing ID?
-I've been driving it pulling the lockout cable at every stoplight and pushing it in once at speed, but I want my otherwise perfectly restored car to operate as original.
-The O/D system is fully functional electrically. Works as intended 80% of the time. But every once in a while, with the cable left pushed in, when I take off from a stop, the overdrive slips and it's like I've let the clutch out in neutral. I can push the clutch in and pull the lockout cable and takeoff normally, pushing the cable back in once moving to use O/D normally.
-Happens sometimes going into second even - I'll take off fine, then zing into second like it's in neutral.
-Every once in a great while, the situation is worse; it'll grab and I'll start to take off normally, then it'll let loose and slip and I've gotta pull the lockout again. This one usually has a pretty good bang from the instant driveline unloading..
-Electrical is perfect. I hear the solenoid click exactly when it should, and the system otherwise functions perfectly. It free-wheels, as long as the solenoid is not engaged (at lower veh speeds) and the lockout cable is not pulled out.
-Reverse is always normal (internal lockout, equivalent to pulling cable)
Any help is greatly appreciated.
