240 overdrive relay question 200

Ok,
So we're on the highway yesterday driving the 90 240 about 2 hours from home and all of a sudden we lose overdrive, the dummy arrow light comes on and the car will not shift back into OD. We slow it down and begin to think about our options...drive home at reduced speed or try to figure out what's up.

First thing we suspected was the OD relay, but we (of course) didn't have an extra with us...long story short after a bunch of calls and stops we found one at a parts store and put it in.....problem solved.

So here's my question: Is it possible to jump terminals on the OD relay socket to get the overdrive to work on a temporary basis without damaging something?

Just wondering.
thanks
-missa
