I had my OD rerouted to the gear lever a la rally cars. Much more 
comfortable to use. Never did like having to reach for the switch.

He shorted it out and although I tried it for a few weeks I re-installed the jumper to take it out of the O/D circuit.  It is easy just connect the two terminals with jumper wire, the photo says it all.  I have run mine like that for 50 years.   I will add that I treat the O/D like and other gear and use the clutch when engaging and disengaging it, and blip the throttle on a downshift (dis-engage).  I think it just reduces the stress on the O/D.

Could that someone please explain the wiring needed to make this change . It sounds like another modern up grade to make our driving experience easier.
