Default Re: Borg Warner overdrive cable throw position

The lockout lever on the side of the OD housing MUST rest against the stop on the tail housing. Set it there and then slide the inner cable into the locking hardware before tightening it up. As suggested in one of the earlier posts, set it so that the handle under the dash is close to, but not bottomed out in the handle bracket. Clamp the outer cable housing in the usual spots and proceed to test the system. The lockout lever has special swiveling hardware that allows the lever to move through an arc without bending the cable. We have this hardware if you need it.

You seem to be a little confused on the operation of the cable lockout control. This doesn’t shift the system into overdrive.....it either enables the transmission to shift into OD or locks it out of OD mode. The electric solenoid does the actual shifting into overdrive.
