Steven,
There is supposed to be cut out switch that prevents the overdrive from
working in 1st and reverse and if I understand it, if the overdrive is
actuated in reverse, then there can be damage done to the od unit.
I remember in the 60's a friend had a TR4 with od and his would work in
reverse yet my TR3B would not.........
