I think its a matter of wiring your od so that you can use it in all forward
gears. Wouldn't think your od lasts very long if you use it in first,
especially if your engine is tuned. Wouldn't think either that engagement is
instantaneous since it will be still clutch engaged so wouldn't make any
difference what type od it is.
