Why would your 89 740gle shift into a lower gear when you press the OD button on the shifter?
OD is a highway gear meant to maintain high speed with less engine effort, you should keep it off during regular street driving to prevent constant shifting in and out. When you are pushing the button it is dropping out of over drive and into the regular high gear, keep it that way until you are on the highway and your transmission will last longer.

Why does Lanos slow down in 5th gear?
Fifth gear is like overdrive, it is meant for flat open highway driving. It is a gas saving gear so that you can travel at highway speeds at low rpm and your engine is just too small to use that gear at any other time. So use it on flat or slightly down sloped roads, fourth should be your normal gear for from about 45 to 65.
Is driving in 5th gear right for highway?
Yes under normal driving conditions. In fact most vehicles will operate just fine in fifth gear anytime above 50 mph and will help your gas mileage. The exception would be if you are in mountainous terrain and your vehicle seems to be struggling going up hill. So basically anytime your vehicle operates normally fifth gear is a good choice.

What does driving in second gear do to a Lexus driving on high way speed?
Well, driving at highway speeds in any vehicle in 2nd gear, will raise the RPM of the engine, meaning that the engine is working that much harder to maintain the speed. As the engine constantly revs at a higher RPM, it heats up alot quicker, which in the end could do alot of damage to your car. And if its a Lexus, i would advise to SWITCH gears and keep an eye on your RPM and temperature gauge
What is over drive and when do you use it?
