Hello. 1986. Sedan. M46 tranny W/overdrive. A couple of years ago as the switch that only allows OD operation in 4th gear was defective I bypassed it. I realize that if by mistake you are in overdrive while in reverse gear that this is really bad for tranny/overdrive. However every so often(maybe once or twice a month)I by mistake have overdrive on while in 1st, 2nd, 3rd gears. Been like I said a couple of years and seems fine. However I was just wondering if being in overdrive while in #1, 2, or 3 gears is bad for tranny or overdrive. Its not like I do it regularly or for long. Soon as I catch it I disengage overdrive. Just curious about this. Thanks.
