Hi Chad
You have missed a vital stage of the dismantling procedure which comes
before you touch the first nut in the process of removing the box from the
car. You should have jacked the car up and engaged the overdrive and then
dipped the clutch and disengaged the od with no load on it, this releases
any tension between the cone clutch and one way bearing. There are two ways
round this now, both involve bolting the two bits back together. The first
and probably easiest is to refill the box and apply an electric drill to the
input shaft engage fourth gear and energise the solenoid, ensure that the
chuck is tight on the shaft or it could slip which is when you are likely to
damage the pilot bearing surface of the shaft. The other way will work if
you have a spare plug to fit near the solenoid, drill and tap it to accept a
grease nipple and then refill your grease gun (or buy a new one for the job)
with hypoid oil attach and pressurise the system. Both of these methods will
release the cone and therefore the hold that your overdrive currently has on
your sanity.
Graham.
