Not sure if I should reply, given I just put a car into reverse with the OD
stuck?.
I have an old motor from a washing machine and can use the belt to spin the
output shaft of OD gearboxes. I have found I can go into and out of overdrive
this way by just turning the lever on the shaft activated by the solenoid.
Before today (!) I have always been careful to turn the shaft clockwise / the
way it turns when driving in a forward gear.

Subject: [TR] Testing a J type OD
I have rebuild a gearbox for a Stag using a Y type OD from a Triumph Dolomite
Sprint.
I'd like to bench test it. Can I put a drill on the end of the input shaft and
spin it and then switch on the solenoid?
If so, and I am looking at the bell housing face on, should the shaft rotate in
a clockwise direction?
For testing, can I switch on the solenoid in any gear other than reverse?
