The rollers would freewheel anyway because the shaft is turning backwards in reverse. The car wouldn't move forward if the rollers were not functioning. The sun gear locks the transmission by moving backwards on the splined shaft that is driven from the main transmission. Look at the position of the sun gear in the two illustrations in section II on pages 5 & 6.

Also, something on the reverse lever in the side cover has to push the rod (#14) back when the transmission is put in reverse gear. I don't know if the side cover from a standard non-overdrive has the mechanism or not.
