[TR] TR4A - Driving w/Overdrive

All,

It just occurred to me that I do not really understand how to drive the car
with the OD on.
When I was driving it back in the 80's, it never worked, so I have no
experience with it.

I know you should not engage the OD in reverse, or first gear.  In fact, there
is an electrical safety that prevents it.

When is it appropriate to engage/disengage the OD?  Is there some recommended
"sweet spot" for engaging/disengaging?
Can you shift gears up and down with the OD engaged?  Or do you need to
disengage the OD before changing gears?



Cheers,
