Trying to re install the overdrive with the transmission still in  
place is major pain in the ass.

DO NOT TRY IT. You will regret it.

It will not save you any time at all over removing the transmission  
and doing the repairs on the bench.

If you are after a trick of the trade remove the transmission to  
repair the overdrive. And save the headache.
