I was driving on the highway and my friend tells me to put overdrive on. So I hit the button and it turns overdrive off. I feel stupid but I never used the button before and always thought overdrive was off unless I hit the button. So my question is how should I do my daily driving. How it normally is or should I always shut it off. Also if I wanted better acceleration like to race or something, should I shut it off? Thanks

 

OD is normally on...it allows the use of 4th gear, if you have it off, it locks out 4th, and takes 3rd to redline...for normal driving, keep it on, it's there for better mileage, but if you're racing, to fully use 3rd gear, you should turn it off, you'll accelerate faster

 

Leave overdrive on all the time unless you want to hold the car in a particular gear. I also leave the O/D on when racing, makes no difference in times, just doesn't allow the car to shift into 4th if its off.

 

Thanks for the Info guys.
