Ok sir. Now I understand. No questions of daily driving a 1940 any more.
Many items will have to be addressed one at a time. You say the OD works all the time but you say it has never engaged on its own or grinds during engagement in the last post. As I read it- this unit will be unavailable under 22 mph and above this in high gear (and others) when it is not locked out it will never engage under load! Accelerator MUST be released momentarily to allow full coast/decal for a second for the unit to engage. Is this how you are operating it? Does it still click and grind when you do this? If so there is a mechanical issue. As it is stated in the service info- there is a balk ring which NEEDS deceleration to rotate backwards to engage the pawl. This will be with the lockout knob pushed in and not a factor. Problems with the lockout creep and clicking are another thing. Also this unit should release electrically on decal below 22 and as soon as no load via drive torque or engine braking. Are you saying it clicks/grinds when you are lifting off throttle to engage it? And it will not disengage itself slowing below 22?
