Well I used the 'other' wagon today and it shifted into and out of overdrive very smoothly without 'clutching'. I did ease up on the throttle to go up from 4th to OD and it was sweet. Apparently the 'klanky' wagon's OD needs remediation. The screen seems like a good start since it engages in a delayed sense and all at once- 'klank!, I will continue to use clutch for it.
I would guess the smooth OD would be the norm on this application.
As previously mentioned, shifting out of 4th w/ OD engaged should automatically disable the OD. Conversely, the OD will normally engage only in 4th. If your xmsn does otherwise there is a problem somewhere.
I have had the OD continuously disengage on it own for a short period, but a new relay completely solved that problem.
