[SEL] OT R-10 Borg Warner overdrive.

“I always wondered why my drivers ed. teacher told us to always use reverse when parking.” Not that it’s applicable here, Curt, but with engines with timing belts it’s best to use 
first or reverse, whichever would be appropriate for the direction the car would roll if 
it could.  Turning a timing belt engine backwards can cause all sorts of mayhem.   
“I'd pulled several manual gearboxes apart by then and knew the ration was the same for 
first vs. reverse,…” Not necessarily. There's no mechanical reason this should be so. Lots of transmissions 
are slightly higher (lower numerically) geared in reverse than in low.
