The switch on the gearbox is an inhibitor which allows overdrive to work in
3rd and 4th only. The lower gears won't be so much of a problem (though
overdrive is unlikely to work very well in those gears due to reduced
operating pressure) but operation in reverse is usually catastrophic because
of the one-way clutch. Trust me, you really don't want to bypass the
switch......
Cheers,
Bill.
