Overdrive is the normal position - if you are in hilly areas and find the transmission
keeps shifting back and forth between overdrive and drive , you can use the
overdrive cancel switch to shut off the overdrive feature and if you are towing
something you also want to shut off the overdrive
why does the 1991 Lincoln towncars transmission not have overdrive?Instead of going into overdrive it seems to go into neutral.But if you take it out of overdrive and leave it in drive it never goes into neutral while I'm driving.
Your transmission might automatically shift out of overdrive while driving on the interstate because of low transmission fluid. This issue might also occur because of a bad transmission sensor or overdrive sensor.
if it is an automatic leave it in overdrive. the transmission knows when to change into the overdrive gear. if it is a manual listen to the motor. if you have in overdrive and it bogs down while accelerating then down shift to a lower gear.
Normally the overdrive is allowed , so the overdrive OFF light does not light up When the overdrive is switched off , the overdrive OFF light will light up to let you know that the overdrive has been switched off
The overdrive warning light might start flickering when you are driving because of low transmission fluid. This light could also come on because of tension on the transmission while you are towing a boat or trailer.
On the open road or freeway with mild inclines.
More than likely the transmission has gone into overdrive.
The disc needs to be in while you are playing the game
If you are city driving, and stopping at many lights. The tranny might be shifting into overdrive constantly for just a few seconds before you have to stop again, which would cause excessive wear on an expensive transmission. Personally, in this situation I would disengage the overdrive.
Overdrive is the normally allowed position ( in overdrive the engine doesn't rev as high , the gas mileage is better , the transmission will run cooler etc. when you drive at higher speeds )
There can be a slight humming noise while driving a neon. This sound could come purely from the engine to indicate that it is running.
