When working correctly, I can hear the governor click at 27 mph, then I let off of the gas then reapply and the solenoid does the shift.

Hope this helps.

You could permanently wire that switch inside the cab and use it to engage the o/d at ANY speed--AND in any/every gear(can u think 6 speeds?). A good switch to use is an EXTRA dimmer switch mounted right in the floor--to operate with your left foot while keeping hands on steering wheel! Lotsa fun that way: clicking, accelerating, and shifting. Plus: when shifting while trans is NOT in o/d, you do NOT have to use the clutch.
