overdrive is a type of gear ratio. there are three kinds, gear reduction, direct drive, and overdrive. overdrive has a ratio that is smaller than one, example: .7:1 this means the differential will turn .7 times and the axle will turn once. it is meant for cruise, and fuel economy, not power
The final gear ratio. Exp. 5th gear

Overdrive. The "O" in "RTLO" indicates that, and the transmission in question has a final drive ratio of .73.
Need to specify an exact model.
The rear end gear ratio on a 1980 Oldsmobile is 3.73, in the overdrive gear. The low gear ratio is 1.43.
That's entirely dependent on the transmission. .64:1 to .85:1 is typical.
*Turn off Overdrive when Towing. (Trailer, Boat, etc.) *Overdrive is a transmission gear with a ratio below 1:1, which improves fuel economy by reducing engine revolutions per minute at highway speeds.
In simple terms, overdrive is the final/cruising gear. It reduces the power output by lowering the gear ratio. The overdrive mechanism increases fuel efficiency, and saves strain on the transmission and the drive train. When the vehicle is started the overdrive is always on, but it can be turned off by a switch button, which is often located on the shifter. Turning the overdrive off will prevent the vehicle from shifting into the overdrive when traveling at the speed of around 40 MPH. It is recommended that the overdrive is constantly on under normal driving conditions. It should be turned off when, for example, hauling heavy loads or going up a long gradual incline.OverdriveA transmission in which the highest gear ratio is less than a one-to-one ratio. This means the drive shaft turns faster than the engine crankshaft. The overdrive feature saves fuel and, because the engine runs slower, engine wear and noise are reduced.OverdriveOverdrive (on a car ) means the final drive (tailshaft) rotates faster than the engine. On 5- speed transmissions, 4th has a 1:1 ratio and 5th is in overdrive.
