Overdrive off, is it better for fuel economy or worse? Is it better for the engine overall or not? Thanks.
-
what does it mean when its just flashing all the time?
-
OK physically what is overdrive and mechanically how does it work with the rest of the gearbox?
-
Does anyone know if driving on D2 in an automatic is bad?
-
Thanks man! Great explanation.
-
Thanks for the briefing the Over drive. i really don;t know about the button, but after watching your video, now i know what to do and when i need to use over drive.
thanks peter -
thanks peter

for everyone still confused, overdrive lowers RPM acting as an extra gear to save gas. at higher RPM your engine uses more gas to rotate it at the high revs. with overdrive it reduces the need for extra gas by slowing the RPM.
-
with overdrive ON, what is your RPM at 70mph? you do have a 4 speed with overdrive automatic transmission, right?
-
Thank you for this sir! We recently converted our toyota corolla from manual to automatic and I have seen that overdrive button which I don't know what use it has until I watched your video. Now I understand why sometimes I can't accelerate that much because of the overdrive and I have difficulty on going to steep slopes/elevation. I'm going to try with overdrive off and see how it goes. Thank you!

Will engaging or disengaging the overdrive while the car is at high speed damage the transmission system?
-
very good information
-
oh thanks
-
what kind of car is that with 400 thousand miles? I have a Toyota Camry I hope I can get that many miles on mine!
-
okay, I know NOTHING about cars, so I've been trying to get this concept into my head for a bit, tell me if I'm wrong, but:
Overdrive is basically something you can use from the 3rd gear up usually, and it can keep my revolutions down while making my car push harder, so basically it is like switching to the hardest gear of a bicycle, right? except it's not me pedaling, but the engine? -
now i understand thank you for that great explanation
-
There is not one video about overdrive that i could find for now, on manual transmission, so i will be simple; its engaged in final gear, 5th,6th... you get the idea.
-
Great explanation of how the overdrive works. Thanks!
-
I have three questions, first does Off give more acceleration from 0-30 km/h for example?
also is the maximum horsepower stated in the car manual with overdrive on or off?
How is the speed the same with more power? (when it increased 800 rpm)
Answer what you can and thanks! -
Excellent. Thanks for your time & good efforts.
