[Fot] Big TR OD and Gearbox rebuilding

[Tony Drews]

I don't think pushing in the clutch helps if your OD is engaged and 
you start rolling backwards in the spin.  If you have enough wits 
about you, you need to flip the OD switch to disengage it, or kick it 
into neutral to use the lockout switches or something.

Good advice for sure, but you still have a grenaded OD if you spin 
and start rolling backwards in 3rd OD...  If you lock up the brakes 
you're OK because the rear tires aren't spinning.
