You can identify whether or not your 1997 Ford Explorer has an overdrive drum sensor by looking at the identification tag on the transmission. The identification tag will list the overdrive drum sensor.
Are you sure you don't mean OD off light? If so, that means that the overdrive gear in your transmission is not activated. On automatic transmission models there is a button on the end of the shift lever which controls whether the transmission is in overdrive or not. Push in on this button - the light should go out and overdrive will be activated (which will definitely give you better gas mileage).
I was looking at one of the Ford websites , and for a 1996 Ford Explorer 4.0 litre V6 : It lists two different part numbers for a starter depending on whether it is an automatic or manual transmission
"OD" light indicates whether or not you are allowing the transmission to shift into "Overdrive" I believe with the light "on" you are preventing the upshift into overdrive (therefore using more fuel and making the engine work harder than necessary). Light "off" allows transmission to shift through all gears as predetermined by factory.
Typically Overdrive is engaged when cruising, when the car is in top gear. Whether the activation button is on the dash, or on the gear selector, makes little difference to how the Overdrive system works.
For a 1993 Ford Explorer, changing the transmission filter and screen typically requires about 4 to 6 quarts of transmission fluid. However, the exact amount can vary depending on whether the entire system is being drained or just the fluid in the pan. Always check the owner’s manual or consult a mechanic for the most accurate information specific to your vehicle.
The starter is bolted to the transmission bell housing with two bolts and hangs under the vehicle on the passenger side. Whether an old starter can be repaired or not depends on what is wrong with it, and on whether or not you can even get parts. More often than not, it is more cost effective to just get another starter.
no , that would depend whether you have 2 wheel drive or the control trac 4x4 system with the V6 , or the 2 wheel drive or all wheel drive with the V8
Then you may not have an Internet connection, or Internet Explorer may have a configuration problem. To see whether you have basic Internet connection (independent of Internet Explorer), use the "ping" command.Then you may not have an Internet connection, or Internet Explorer may have a configuration problem.

just fixed the same problem for a custemer there is a roll pin in the shift rail that falls out causeing it to lock up
Yes, technically overdrives do exist in motorcycles (Output of transmission faster than input). It is moot point for motorcycles however. Chain driven motorcycles can be re-geared simply by changing the rear chain sprocket to a smaller one.
The cost to rebuild the transmission on a 1996 Ford Explorer Sport Trac can vary widely, typically ranging from $1,500 to $3,000. Factors influencing the price include labor rates in your area, the condition of the existing transmission, and whether you choose a reputable shop or dealership. Additional costs may arise if any other components need replacement during the rebuild. It's advisable to get multiple quotes to find the best deal.
There's a number of details which would be pertinent to know here and are not present. Whether it has an automatic or manual transmission (and, if a manual, whether its a regular synchronised transmission or an unsynchronised progressive shift transmission), whether it has air or hydraulic brakes, etc.
