Special features of magnetohydrodynamic waves linear dynamics in smooth shear flows are studied. Quantitative asymptotic and numerical analysis are performed for wide range of system parameters when basic flow has constant shear of velocity and uniform magnetic field is parallel to the basic flow. The special features consist of magnetohydrodynamic wave mutual transformation and over-reflection phenomena. The transformation takes place for arbitrary shear rates and involves all magnetohydrodynamic wave modes. While the over-reflection occurs only for slow magnetosonic and Alfv\'en waves at high shear rates. Studied phenomena should be decisive in the elaboration of the self-sustaining model of magnetohydrodynamic turbulence in the shear flows.
