overdrive

[Livrat]

originally there was a relay mounted somewhere that took 12 volts from the coil and routed it to the solenoid.. there was also a switch on the throttle linkage to disengage the solenoid during wide open throttle.. there should also be a switch on the overdrive itself which prevented the solenoid from functioning while the cable was in the lockout position.. You can just hook up a toggle switch to the solenoid and work it manually or try and find an originall schematic diagram and relay to make it work like the factory intended.. I prefered the manual method...

It will not hurt the trans to have it freewheel without the solenoid kicked in..

the original cable assembly had a special bracket to align it with the lockout lever.. Never tried an actuator.. but dont see why it would not work as long as you have the correct throw to properly engage and disengage the overdrive....
