I'm getting a clicking noise (sounds like it comes from firewall area where OD relay is positioned) at around 25 mph - Goes away above and below the normal od engage speed, and it makes the noise whether it's in or out of overdrive. Tried new relay, still makes the clicking sound. I've been told the governor seldom goes out and that it's probably still a relay problem - any thoughts?? Dale

The relay will click once when the vehicle hits around 25 to 28 mph. If it clicks more than once I would suspect faulty wiring to the governor or oily switch in the governor.

You can also get oil in the solenoid that can cause the relay to act up or blow a fuse in the system. You can replace the seal and also take the solenoid apart and wash it out with cleaning solvent. Fred
