ABSTRACT:
A control system for use in controlling the operation of an overdrive transmission of a vehicle. The system includes a circuit containing a relay coil and a limit switch in series relationship with the governor switch of the transmission. The relay has two sets of double acting contacts, one set being provided to control current flow to the coil of a solenoid used to actuate the overdrive and the other set providing a grounding effect for the distributor side of the ignition coil of the vehicle. The limit switch is mounted so that it is actuated and deactuated by merely moving the gear shift lever of the vehicle. To this end, the gear shift lever has a bracket which engages a switch arm of the limit switch to move the switch arm as a function of the movement of the gear shift lever.
