I see this OD requires the driver to let off the throttle for engagement every time correct? Looking at the schematic above- this simplified version does not show the contacts in the solenoid actuator attached to the plunger shaft ant relate their state in both modes . The ignition cut out four through a contact in the actuator only closed when fully extended. See this schematic and description
Anyone whose car has the R9 OD (models from 40 thru mid 48) can get a good understanding of the operation and state of various contacts at the given conditions by reading thru the Econodrive training manual which is available for download in the training manuals category on this site. The later R11 units from mid 48 on (with a few units retrofitted to earlier years) are considerably different mechanically and much simplified electrically. Their operation is detailed in the Borg-Warner overdrive booklet which is also available for download here.
