#301, "RE: Overdrive question...." In response to In response to 4
I think you guys are confusing OD with OD off. When you click the button IN that's over drive on. meaning 1 > 2 > 3 > 4 gears.
Button out means OD off. meaning 1 > 2 > 3 at much higher RPMs.
"Over drive" tends to have a performance meaning to it, but it just means all 4 gears.
From the manual:
"With the overdrive switch pressed in, automatic shifting will take place in the 1st trhough 4th gear ranges when the selector lever is set to the "D" position."
"When you need quick acceleration or engine braking power on a downhill grade, or when you are going to go up a long ill, press to release the overdrive sqitch to cance the overdrive function."
Overdrive - 4 gears lower rpm shifts
Overdrive off - 3 gears higher rpm shifts.
People tend ot think that overdrive is like some synonym for hyperdrive or something that has a performance connotation. The reverse is true.
