On a 1996 Ford Explorer :
Overdrive is the normally allowed position
It won't shift into overdrive until the speed is greater anyway ( such as on the
highway or freeway , my 1995 Explorer XLT doesn't shift into overdrive until I'm
going 50 MPH / 80 KPH )
If you are towing something , or if you are driving in hilly country where the
transmission is constantly shifting back and forth from overdrive to drive , then
you want to shut the overdrive off using the transmission control switch on
the end of your gear selector leaver ( P R N etcetera ) and the O/D OFF
light will light up in your dash
It should be in the front under the hood near the intake
A 1987 4-speed ford ranger with over drive is a 4wd and not 2wd.
Over drive on any car is ther last gear for the transmission at hi-way speeds. The engine rev rate is lower, while the car goes faster. If you leave the stick in the D position, with the o/drive on, the trans. will do the work by itself.
I have a 84 camaro 2.8, what is over drive? The D without circle are D with circle?
check the fuse, check the relay, change the ignition module-- it senses the engine turning over and sends the computer the signal to start the pump. Check the collision sensor in the rear, it may need to be reset.
aod stands for automatic over-drive and is a common ford transmission
