2 transmission questions
1. If I pull the shifter into "2" while going too fast, will the transmission wait till the speed is lower before going into 2nd or will it just go into second, or first for that matter, at any speed (4R100)?
2. My overdrive button has started to not work intermittently, seems when it won't work if I push the shift lever forward while pressing the OD button then it will work. It is the same whether shifting into or out of OD.
Thanks

To answer question 2, it sounds like you have a chafed wire where the shift lever pivots on the steering column. Read this thread:

No I didn't know that button just pulls out. I was looking online for the complete shift lever with harness but it looks like it is all sold separately....thanks

The trans will shift to 2 at any speed. It will not shift to 1 until it's slowed to a safe speed.

Thanks Mark. I guess the best way to know when it is safe to shift down into 2nd is see how high the RPMs reach when accelerating in 2nd before redlining and use that speed for your maximum safe downshift speed when descending.
