Yea, they're truly unique. I forgot to mention, the OD is initiated by a push button on top of the shifter knob - it is electronically engaged. So if an ad states OD not working, it could be a switch or other electronic devices, not nessesarily the trans itself.

I'm not sure why the Swedes decided to approach OD that way rather than simply another gear.
