Humanpotatohybrid makes a good point. The service manual, along with this thread, talks about adjusting the throttle linkage and the transmission throttle valve.packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=28363

My throttle linkage and throttle valve were all whackadoodle, but I adjusted everything back to spec and the direct drive engages just like it's supposed to. It was engaging too soon before.

Having said that, at the speeds your talking about, I would think the governor would be overriding the throttle valve and keeping the direct drive fully engaged, which it should be doing when you let off on the throttle so it's using the engine for braking.

The more I get things back to spec on my car the better EVERYTHING works.
