Sure'nuff!
Oh, so close! But you still missed.
If all that happened was like your lil' ole red crayon showed, that overdrive would never disengage, and there's only be two shifts, with a real leggy 1st gear like I described. Reverse would be a real trip as well. But that isn't how it happens, is it?...
Darn that pesky transistor in the relay box and those dangling wires that you ignored! Those things keep that solenoid from engaging until the car's in third gear. Shucky darns, no power to the solenoid until then.
We're making progress though! You seem to have realized now that the AW71 isn't the fourspeed gearbox you claimed earlier, and you've figured out it really does have an overdrive. Pretty soon we'll have you up to speed on it!
For bonus points, see if you can find any problems in that diagram of yours that you scanned. I'll give you a hint for one of them, has to do with a series circuit.
