[TR] overdrive in reverse

[Gary Nafziger]

If it's some consolation I also was in a position with my tr-6.  I'd loaned it
out to a high school kid for prom.  (I KNEW I should have unplugged the wiring
for the overdrive)  Any way he parked it in front of my garage and left.  I
got in and found it was still in overdrive.  I COULD NOT get it out of gear or
overdrive.  Pushed the clutch in and no difference.  nothing worked.  I
finally gritted my teeth and backed up about 5-6 feet just enough to get
turned and going forward.  The backing up was excruciating because it did buck
and bind something awful.
I got turned around and drove forward and clicked it
out of overdrive and unplugged it and never used it for a year.  I never even
tested it!  Then a year later I plugged it in............tested it and it
worked!  Have been using it ever since.  very very grateful for actually
having dodged a bullet, which doesn't happen often!

sooo you might not be as
bad off as you think.
