The 89's, some might and most do not. Listen to the shifting, or feel the shifting. You will hear the rev's drop at around 80 klicks, or 50 or so mph.

When the overdrive button is pushed, the overdrive is shut OFF. ======================================================= But if you push the button again the overdrive is allowed , so it would be ON So , if you are on the highway or freeway where the speed is higher just look at the RPM on your tachometer to tell if you are in overdrive because the RPM will be lower

Overdrive should be ran by electrical ,so check your fuses . If that's not it check wiring that runs to transmission.You will have to get under the vehicle .

If you have a owners manual in the glove box it should tell you which fuse runs the overdrive circuit .Hope this helps . Rick
