The O/D cannot handle the maximum torque it would receive from the gearbox
in first and second gears - that is why there is a cut-out fitted that only
allows it to work in 3rd and 4th.  Worse, if the O/D is ever engaged and the
car put into reverse, it is toast.

Sorry, I don't think a permanantly engaged O/D is such a great idea!
