The only information I have access to is the repair manual and I feel like I'm reading the old testiment of the Bible!  This sun-gear begot that ring gear, and the balk ring gear is internal the output pawl....blah blah blah.  I just want to know how I'm supposed to operate it!

I'm looking more for the information that would in the owner's manual.  Something along the lines of "pull the lever on the dash when you want xyz to happen".

I figured out enough from the repair manual to realize that the overdrive happens automatically? (contrary to my assumption that I had to pull out the dash lever to engage the overdrive).

So how is it suppose to work and how to I know if it is working?
