Greetings, >I spent some time perusing the Haynes manual this evening - noticed >something interesting. MK IV Spits had a relay in the O/D wiring, but >1500's did not.
Earlier cars with the D type O/D had a different solenoid with "pull in" and "hold" windings. It pulled more current and needed the relay. >Pros and cons? As you mentioned: Pros = less stress on the switch even with later J type O/D. Cons = More parts with more wiring to go wrong.
