There should be a 2nd gear switch and if you have backup lights, one on reverse. So I think you do have to pull the trans cover.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Allen</div><div class=""><br class=""><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class=""><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;" class=""><br class=""></div>

<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;" class="">In Third, It will work for a short time, then goes out of OD. It appears that it is related to the isolator switch. If I gently push the shifter forward, it stays in OD just fine. If I pull it back slightly (still in 3rd), it does out of OD, and when I push it slightly forward again, OD re-engages.</span>

<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;" class="">In second gear, it does not ever engage OD. I did not see the transmission after the conversion, so I do not know IF there is a 2nd gear isolator switch. But, I think there OUGHT to be..</span>

<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;" class="">I picked up the car at the end of last week, and I am sure the shops will make good on a perfectly functioning OD. But I want to know if this is a simple adjustment issue. Maybe I can do it myself. I can get the car on a lift and do the work from below if it were feasible.</span>
