No Reverse on OD tranny

[fast fredy]

today i remove the solenoid thinking it might be stuck in the extended position which I think would stop reverse but no joy but when i re installed it .. I didnt have to extend it to get it attached ,to the plunger i thought that you had to ... but took for a drive couple miles overdrive worked good but no reverse,

When I was a kid I had a switch to manually ground the relay to keep OD engaged. If I put it in reverse with OD engaged, it would bind up an try to kill the engine as the clutch was engaged. I'm sure that if a person kept forcing it something would have to give, and it wouldn't be pretty.
