Problem with overdrive
#1
I have a 95 GLE auto and I accidently pushed in the overdrive switch. So I was stopping and going as stoplights and such, and I noticed the car was going a little slower than normal, so I figured out it was in overdrive so I pushed the switch again and turned it off. Well, even after I turned it off my car was still slower than normal? Why is it doing this?

My question doesn't relate to the Max but how come Hondas has D3 and D4. Isn't it better to have a button like Nissans do?

so to access a 4th gear O/D has to be on? well, since there is a D1, D2, and D, does D include both the third and forth gear? how does this work

OD
Well for Hondas, 1, 2, D3, D4 are still very similar
For both the max and the hondas, 1 and 2 are "non automatic gears" meaning that if you are in 1, you are stuck in 1 and if you are 2 you are stuck in 2 regardless of the engine speed
in the Maxima, when you put it into D with OD on, you are now in "automatic mode" meaning the car will shift 1 - 4 as needed.
When you turn OD off, the car is still automatic, but will only use 1 - 3.
In hondas, when you are in D4, your car will automatically shift 1 - 4
and in D3, 1 -3
so its essentially the same as an OD button but i guess it gives you the "feel" of being able to shift like a sport shift (manual without clutch)
But who cares, an auto is an auto no matter what way you look at it, its no standard tranny.

I don't think the Maxima has this feature...

I think we do. I was coming up and unplowed hill today and was spinning crazily in first, so I shifted into second(auto) and the wheel spin got much better. When I say I switched into second. I stopped and thentried taking off again, so I don't think it was a 1-2 shift.

I was coming up an unplowed hill today and was spinning crazily in first, so I shifted into second(auto) and the wheel spin got much better and allowed me to get up a hill that three other cars couldn't. When I say I switched into second, I stopped and then tried taking off again, so I don't think it was a 1-2 shift that reduced the wheel spin. I could be wrong though. I'll have to try this this morning and get back to you.

If you put the car in 2..
It starts in 1 then shifts to 2. Try it. If you're "cruising" in 2, at around 20mph, and floor it, it will down shift to 1 then shift back up to 2.
It doesn't lock out 1st gear like some other cars do.
As far as # of gears, there are 4 from what I can tell. I tend to manually shift the thing, and it goes from
1,2,3 (D w/ overdrive off), then 4 (D w/ overdrive on).
