Racetorations in UK makes a kit that boosts the line pressure in the OD
unit so that OD engagement is much quicker. As Gernot wrote, having OD
engage in all four forward gears is simply a matter of wiring. You
would simply need to tap the gearbox top cover for another inhibitor
switch for 1st/2nd like the one used for 3rd/4th gear on the J
type-equipped gearbox top covers.
