I've put a non-lockup A518 in my '73 Dart and made a seperate electrical switch to turn on the OD, but the only time the OD actually works is when the trans goes into 3rd.
There's no OD-function in first or second gear.

Did you have any other modifications done to your transmission so it's actually somewhat of a 6 speed now?



No.. but I can AND HAVE flipped the switch and seen
the revs jump up... in all 3 gears... why do you
think it would be in third(high gear) only if its
a separate unit of the trans... this trans was a 3
pin with OD and lock up... I changed the pump and
input so it could use a high stall 727 conv.. its a
5000 rpm stall in this unit




You said you had a Transgo kit in your trans Mike. Any chance a stock trans has a valve body interlock that the shift kit bypasses? I know I have read that the non lockup trans can be split shifted for the reasons you posted if you have it switched manually.
