Why is th OD light on on your 1994 Geo Prism?
the transmission is in overdrive I don't have overdrive in my car but look at your gearshift because the small button on it should be how you disengage the system
E350 should you use overdrive?
Yes, under most conditions you can use overdrive. If you are pulling a heavy trailer, or the vehicle is heavily loaded, I would recommend you don't. If at anytime you a driving loaded and the transmission starts changing gears constantly, you should disengage the overdrive.
When should you disengage the overdrive in your Ford F 150?
When your transmission starts down shifting a lot. Or in other words keeps jumping out of overdrive often. Remember all your transmission wear happens only when it changes gears.
On a 1994 Mazda 626 How do get the button on the shifter to switch back over to automatic from overdrive it is stuck in overdrive and when you push the button it won't switch back?
The button does not switch from Overdrive to Automatic. The button just turns the overdrive off. Overdrive is not a separate drive system as your question implies. Normally you leave the car in overdrive mode. That way the transmission shifts into overdrive at highway speeds, thus saving fuel. If you are saying the transmission is stuck in overdrive and it will not disengage then seek out a A/T professional.

Should overdrive be used while driving at all times?
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.
When do you use the over drive in your 2003 Honda CR-V?
You can leave it engaged all the time if you wish - it will shift into, and out of, overdrive mode when necessary. HOWEVER, if you do a LOT of driving in the 35 - 45 MPH speed range - to prevent the overdrive from "hunting" back and forth, you can disengage it in that kind of traffic.
Overdrive automaticly shuts off on 2001 dodge ram 1500?
This is a built in feature to protect you from burning up the transmission. The computer will automatically disengage overdrive when the transmission fluid temperature sensor gets critically high, for instance, when you are trying to tow in overdrive particularly at high speed. This happened to me in fact hauling a boat several hundred miles on an interstate. I thought the truck should be more than capable of towing it in overdrive but I was later corrected by my dealership. As a rule, if you have something attached to the hitch, turn off overdrive.
What does it mean when the OD Off light is on in a 1984 Vovlo Wagon?
OD= Overdrive. There will be a switch to engage/disengage the OD located on the shifter, or on the console in close proximity to the shift lever. It should even have a marking on it.
Should the over drive in a car be on all the time?
For most drivers, Overdrive should be used full time. Its designed to reduce the amount of effort the engine needs to maintain speed. Whenever a lot of shifting is taking place, its recommended to only used Drive. Roads with a lot of hills, curves, or heavy traffic areas should not use overdrive to prevent damage to the transmission. Also, disengage overdrive whenever towing. There is not enough torque generated by the engine to tow while in overdrive. Towing while overdrive is engaged can cause damage to the engine and transmission.
