There's a switch which will prevent the OD from engaging when the gearbox
leaves the 3rd/4th gear gate, so you should be OK, assuming your switch is in
working order. To test, turn on the ignition (do not start car), turn on the
OD, and move your stick shift between the 1st/2nd gate and the 3rd/4th gate.
You'll hear the switch clicking if its working OK.

Well that is good to know. So if in a senior moment we accidentally leave
our cars in OD and try to use reverse we will do some major damage?

DO NOT BACK UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The problem you are having is inside the overdrive. It is staying in
overdrive and if you back up it will bust the uni drive clutch
