Ray,


It's not necessary to press the clutch when engaging the overdrive.

It's recommended to switch the overdrive not under heavy load situations as 
this adds additional wear to the internal OD hydraulic clutch. That's all.

>What harm
  Nothing, except some probably not noticable wear to the clutch and the 
bearings.
