I have just put a note on my Home page about my TR4 gearbox & overdrive.
It also
contains some info about how I wired it up (definitely not standard) - I
used a Triumph 2000
gearlever knob  which also has a switch.    I need to edit some of my
meanderings, because I
have only added the info today,  but by all means have a look at
http://members.tripod.com/~BrianJohnson_UK/page130.html
The wiring comes at the end !

Cheers
