Not at all true. The OD in/out switch has no control over the control or line pressure. What is actually happening is that by locking out 4th (OD) gear he is preventing use of the 2nd/4th band in high gear (now 3rd). It would seem from the descriptions of a slip shifting from 2-3 and a slip in OD that this is his problem (slipping 2-4 band). Since the band actually has to transmit less torque in 2nd then in OD, the slip is less noticeable, but still there. The band is not used for 1st and 3rd.

In any case, this unit needs to be rebuilt.
