All those willing to sacrifice their cars in order to test whether, in fact,
the OD will engage in reverse please raise your hand. Thank you! Anyone who
raised their hand can drop their car off at my house, along with the title.
You don't deserve a car that runs!
While in theory I find this an interesting discussion, I myself would be
inclined to throw in a relay that disengages the OD when the reverse switch
goes, or putting a manual switch right on top of the shifter. Better safe
than mistakenly "ooops!".

low, the pressure will biuld up quickly, I think?! Also I wonder if using
90wt gear oil helps with keeping the leak rate low and/or building pressure?
As I said when I first posted this, I have a self taught knowledge of the
OD, so I did expect people to be able to shoot this one down.
