Re: 3 speed OD question
Ah, thank you for that explanation! Believe it or not I was treating the kickdown switch as the on/off switch for over drive, I had no idea it would engage automatically above ~27mph. Thanks again.

Re: 1951 Ford clutch pitter-patter?
I suppose a better description would be a ticking noise, with each revolution of the engine you can hear a tick. It's not jerky when releasing. Thanks for the reply!
