O/D gearbox switch

Hi all, Just been sorting out the overdrive harness in my SV. However, can anyone tell me if the gearbox O/D switch needs it's two wires connected in any particular order!!! I'm sure it has terminal numbers on it, but in situ its hard to tell, and I dont want to disturb it by removing it if possible.

Cheers all

Duncan, It's a simple switch, both sides are identical. Connect either wire to either side.

P.S. make sure you are connecting to the OD switch on the gearbox and not the back-up light switch. All Alpine gearboxes have provision for both an OD switch and a Back-up light switch.

Cheers Tom, your help has been invaluable lately. Im pretty sure Im looking at the correct switch. UK RHD - reverse switch on lhs of transmission, and O/D switch on rhs !!!

Correct, assuming your SV has the original gearbox with synchro first gear. Otherwise it's the opposite.
