If your transmission is not shifting into third gear and overdrive it could be a parking pawl. This prevents the transmission from rotating.
Is manual overdrive in an automatic the same as fifth gear in a manual transmission?
its basically the same thing. an automatic tranny wont go in Overdrive until youre going at a generally constant speed. the same is true with a manual transmission- while driving on average roads (40-55 mph) you will not shift into the final gear until you are going at a constant speed. Overdrive is a gear that turns the vehicle driveshaft faster than the engine and is used to improve fuel mileage (and also lower CO2 emissions). Typically 5 or greater in a manual or 4th gear or greater in an automatic is overdrive but there are exceptions. Because of CAFE (fuel economy standards) virtually all cars and small trucks have come factory with ovedrive since 1981.

How does the overdrive work on a 5 speed manual transmission?
Overdrive means the wheels are turning faster than the engine so gas is saved, (5th gear would be overdrive) however if you want to accelerate quickly you will have to shift into a lower gear which would make the engine turn faster than the wheels.
How can you tell if your car has overdrive?
The top gear on the transmission will be marked 'OD' usually. If you have more than a three speed automatic or four speed manual transmission, it's a pretty safe assumption that you do.
What is the function of overdrive in automatic transmission car?
An overdrive transmission allows for less engine speed and thus greater engine economy. When in overdrive the transmission has a gear drive of less than then the engines speed. In the General Motors 4L60E Hydramatic transmission for example, in overdrive gear (4th) the transmission has a ratio of . 70. This means for each 1 rotation of the crankshaft, the output shaft of the transmission rotates . 7.
