If memory serves the overdrive only works on 4th and apparently pushing the clutch about halfway down when engaging/disengaging the OD is recommended from what i remember of my 145 handbook (same box/overdrive i think) to help ease the "shock" as it engages/disengages.

If i had the money/time/space etc i'd probably go after the gold one but would have to convert it to auto. As i have none of those things it's still fair game! Apparently really nice ones can hit about £30k.................................
