Make sense since there was some trickery employed to create the overdrive.
Actually third gear is reconfigured to .73:1, and fourth gear is 1:1, so the arm is "flipped" (I'm told) so that you fake the shifter out into thinking it is a traditional "H" pattern. Otherwise you'd have to shift into 4th for straight up and "downshift" into 3rd to get overdrive.
Flipping the linkage makes it transparent to the driver.
