PLEASE EXPLAIN , WHAT YOU MEAN  8 times ??? 
   did you get this info from a book ???

THE uni-drive does not work backwards , it goes BANG 

 we had a overdrive that did not work ,somebody had
cut off the annulus from the shaft and welded it to
the gearbox mainshaft .. 
see page 162 in my Tech Talk book    Norman Nock
