'51 crestline new to me

In my opinion, you would be wise to keep the overdrive locked out until you know exactly what you have. I have driven my current '51 for the last 39 years without one; it's not much of a sacrifice.

Yes i will keep the od cable pulled out completely and the toggle off. should be safe that way. im used to driving the '37 3 spd. its more of a granny tranny than the '51 i believe. did you get my pm this morning. Tom.

I installed a Borg Warner Overdrive in my 54 Meteor a few years ago. After a couple of weeks of tweaking and making sure it was all working, I bet I've only pulled the handle out a few times since then. You will LOVE that OD. My car is on the highway all the time so it is a must have for me to keep up with modern traffic. Better on fuel too.
