I was hell bent on finding out why when I pushed the OD control lever in, and the only way I could pull it out was to shift into reverse. so I used the process of elimination. first I took the OD cable off of the OD lever at the OD, by hand with the cable off the OD lever shift perfect, then I went inside the car and still with the cable disconnected from the OD I still could not pull the OD lever out with out first shifting into reverse. I had a sigh of relief. I knew the OD was ok.so I checked the rout of the cable and found out that the guy that was helping me install the OD back in the car ran the cable in between the  shifting rods putting the cable in a bind, so when I put it into reverse it straightened the cable out, then I could pull it out.
so lesson learned!!
now everything woks great. I can push the control in and  out with ease. I went on a test drive today and The OD did what it was designed to do, in 4thgeer at 25 MPH lift off the gas and I could hardly fell it go into overdrive. I am a happy camper and so is the OD.
SO LESSON LEARNED GUYS. don't let this happen to you. check and dabble check.
 
P.S. go easy on me.
