Bob, Don't fret....The won't disengage this is very common on "new" or
units that have sat for a long time. The annulus is stuck to the brake ring.
This will "wear in" with use and the problem will go away. In the manual, it
says that if this happens, to hit the overdrive unit with a soft hammer. (I
know....I 've done it and it works. very British eh?)

Yep .. same thing happened to me with my TR-6 Atype OD tranny.
My loving wife actually rode around town with me . . without the tranny
tunnel cover on.
Any time it wouldn't drop out of OD .. I'd tell her to whack it.
A light tap on the steel ring part was all that was required.
It wasn't until we traded places and I let her drive that I learned how hot
it was over there with the air blowing up past the exhaust pipe.
What can I say . . I got lucky in the wife department.
