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.
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
No, on most cars the overdrive is always ON unless you turn it off.
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.
thats your 4 wheel drive selector. yes. dont fool with it.
No. Overdrive should be turned off when towing any trailer.
If "OD Off" is lit, then your overdrive is off.
1st, 2nd, drive, overdrive, and lock up ( that's in the torque converter )
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.
If you have a blowout while driving you should?
Overdrive is the normally allowed position It won't shift into overdrive until the speed is faster anyway ( on my Ford EXPLORER I have to be doing around 50 miles per hour ) If you are towing something or driving in hilly country where the transmission is constantly down shifting then you want to turn the overdrive off and the OFF light will appear in the end of your gear selector lever
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.
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
