Gentlemen,
        Unless the J-type for the TR-6 is completely different from the J-type 
I just installed in my Spitfire, You can get O/D in all four forward gears 
simply by bypassing the lockout switch.  This will
also jeapordise your whole tranny by doing this as the O/D unit will blow if 
engaged while in 
reverse.
