[Healeys] Overdrive

[Fred Wescoe]

List,

Having just had the transmission and overdrive rebuilt, I am gun shy.  I
have never had a problem previously with an overdrive disengaging when it
is switched off and I moved the shifter thru neutral and into 2nd.  But,
apparently that was the case before I purchased the car and I did not
realize it.  The overdrive appeared to work properly but in fact, it was
not releasing when it was turned off and that caused the problem.  I am
thinking about adding a warning light that indicates the overdrive is still
engaged even if the switch is off and I'm trying to figure out how to
accomplish this.

I believe that a light in the power line with solenoid simply means that
the solenoid is off but not that the overdrive is disengaged.  The same is
true with all of the other switches.

What is the wisdom of the list on how best to do this.  How can a warning
light be installed properly?

Thanks,

Fred
