what are the possible dire consequences of driving in gears 1-4 with the
overdrive engaged? i have a 77 LH type overdrive on my 73 mgb. i
recently bypassed the 4th gear lockout switch because it was causing the
od to jump in and out at cruising speeds. i installed a panel light to
remind me that the od was engaged. well, my wife took the car out
yesterday afternoon....when she returned, i thought i smelled burnt
clutch....she promises she only went through one full gear cycle (1-4)
before realizing that the unit was engaged. i took the car for a brief
spin and the overdrive seemed fine.
should i expect any big problems from this? (at least she never put it
reverse....)
tia,
