You can try loosening the OD valve nut to release the hydraulic pressure.
Cover it with a towel while loosening, as some oil will escape.

Has he had an "overdrive engaged whilst going into reverse" incident? That
might account for the jamming but not help the immediate situation.

Subject: [Healeys] stuck in overdrive
A friend is 1.5 days from home & just called to tell me his overdrive is
stuck in the engaged position. I told him I would see if the group has any
suggestions on how to disengage it. the car is a 100 with 4 speed trans. &
OD.
My friend is an electrician so I believe we can eliminate any electrical
issues. This appears to be a mechanical/hydraulic problem. What would be the
most likely cause of this issue & is there a way B to get the OD to release?
