Gary, you can certainly do that although I would be careful with giving it too
much welly in 2nd OD as that can really stress the system ( I have done it
many times though in my youth.. 10mph to 60+ in 2nd..). A useful addition to
any TR with overdrive is an overdrive logic controller, an inexpensive bit of
electronics that will take you out of OD as you pass through any gear. That
will prevent you from going from say 3rd OD into 4th OD which will be the
default if you are in OD 3rd and change up into 4th without manually switching
out of overdrive and ruin your traffic light grand prix ambitions.

Subject: [TR] use of overdrive
I've never had an overdrive such as the A-type in a car before (tr-6). I love
it but am curious about it's use. It works very well within a gear range.
But is there a way to quickly shift from 2nd overdrive into 3rd regular
(underdrive)? Then on through the gears giving a person 7 gears? LOL or
not.......i've been afraid to experiment and don't really need it but just
curious.
