While my TR6 is off the road due to the broken valve spring,
shipwright's is setting in. Latest problem is the overdrive. It works in
all 4 gears, instead of just 3 & 4, as it it supposed to.

When I look at the overdrive, I can see 3 switches, one on top, in front
of the gear stick, and one on each side. This looks like the picture in
my Bentley's for an A-type, but I assume they look the same from this
angle. The switch to the left is the reversing light switch, and to the
right, according to Bentley is the seat belt switch. On top is the
3rd/4th inhibitor.

My switch on top has nothing connected to it, and the seatbelt one has
yellow/green and yellow/brown wires. Since this is not a US car, there
is no seatbelt switch. Should these wires be connected to the top switch
instead?
