Re: Winched onto a flatbed in gear....
Well, the belt isn't jumped. Or at least what I think you mean by jumped. The engine runs fine, of couse aside from the smoking... A pulley is pushed out, far enough to push open the cover and rub...

Re: DIY power mode switch?
Not sure about that switch to lock up the torque converter. I think there's a lot of potential problems with that and sounds rather scary to me.
