Yes, it can be done although it is difficult to fish it out. But before you do that, why don't you just unplug the governor at the connector and provide a ground with a jumper wire (ignition switch on). The overdrive solenoid should click in. If it does, the governor is at fault, if not, the trouble is elsewhere.

Don't forget that the signal for the relay also passes through the lockout switch located at the back of the lockout cable under the dash. The wires so love to fall off of these, and the switch itself is also a bit fiddly--be certain the knob is pushed all the way in.
