David, no worries on the sarcasm, thanks for the reply. I really don't think it's a power issue though. The OD has worked perfectly before, and this feels different. Before, I could let off the gas, let the OD shift/engage, and reapply the gas and the car would maintain its speed or accelerate if I asked it to. Now it almost feels like a slipping clutch, and won't maintain 45 on flat ground in OD. This happened the last time I drove it three years ago as well. I thought maybe something was gummed up in the unit preventing complete engagement, so I drained it, filled it with ATF, and ran the car with the rear end in the air, and refilled with fresh Lucas gear oil. The first stop yesterday was to the gas station, added 12 gallons of clear 92.
Any suggestions?
P.s. the belt on my supercharged car is just fine 😜
