I have a 59 with overdrive and it has a "non-origional" overdrive lever. If you own a 59 with an overdrive I would like to talk to you. Pls call 563.387.3736. I appreciate it.

My dilemma has been solved. The fellow helping me with my job found a transmission with OD and we got the lever off or it. Also he found a relay with fuse. We have now cleaned up the electrical parts and tested them on the bench. Spun the governor with a drill motor and it makes the solenoid drop out at a certain speed when pushing on the kick-down switch. We tested the operation of the lever and it makes the OD freewheel in one direction when in the rear position. We will be ready to put the parts back in when we get the cable built. Special thanks to Dan in Utah for the call and help also. Great guy.
