overdrive.
Over Drive. The overdrive should always be engaged. NO the overdrive should not always be engaged, you will eat more gas around the city and put more stress on you tranny, ans those trannys dont need that
four wheel drive drive line came disconnected
Sounds like an overdrive problem. The transmission is kicking in and out of overdrive causing it to overwork and get too hot. turn the overdrive off and try it.
Only you swap the overdrive/tailshaft unit.
The cast of Overdrive - 2000 includes: Krishnar as himself
Overdrive keeps your engine RPMs low when you drive faster than 45 mph Its there for fuel economy If you drive without OD it doesnt hurt anything at all except your gas mileage
D5 ( Drive 5 ) is the normal operating position for the best fuel economy ( the transmission operates in all 5 forward gears including overdrive ) D4 ( Drive 4 ) allows the transmission to use the first 4 forward gears , no overdrive . Use that position if you have a heavier load , if you want engine braking etcetera
There's a button on the left side of the gearshift, under the T-handle. Push it once. There should be a little green light by the speedometer that indicates if you're in OD mode, or not.
Overdrive allowed is the NORMAL position ( if I'm on the highway and have to go down a long / steep hill , I like to cancel the overdrive with the switch on the end of the gear selector so the transmission stays in drive and gives some engine braking )
overdrive is not working and it should be looked at by a transmission shop
Overdrive is the normally allowed position . It won't shift into overdrive until the speed is faster anyway . On my 1995 Ford Explorer it doesn't shift into overdrive until I'm travelling about 50 miles per hour ( if you are towing or driving in hilly country where the transmission is constantly downshifting then you don't use overdrive )
