I have owned lots of overdrives. You can shift the transmission with overdrive engaged just fine.

You can pull the handle out while driving. You need to be in direct drive and be accelerating when you pull it. If in overdrive just hit passing gear and pull the handle.

I ran a 'stock '50 Ford many years with overdrive and a 3.73 rear. Never any problems in hills or flat land.
