Also, consider this about the overdrive lock-out switch. They come with a
couple of gaskets (or at least they used to). Don't just slap one in, hook
it up and presume that because it's new, it's good. Or presume that because
it works on the bench it will work on the car. Test it for continuity - in
3rd or 4th, and in any other gear or neutral. If it doesn't work, or if it's
intermittent, experiment with adding/subtracting one or both of those
gaskets.

I fixed an O/D a few years ago by taking one gasket off the lockout switch.

FWIW,
Allen
