I don't want to make the fatal mistake of hooking it up wrong. Lever pointed towards the rear or front? Pictures attached.



That lever DOES NOT engage nor disengage the overdrive! Engagement is done by the solenoid. The lever is a lockout lever. In the forward position (photo #1) it locks the trans in direct drive (the solenoid is blocked from engaging overdrive). In the rear position (photo #2) it allows the solenoid to engage overdrive when energized.
