There's a button on the left side of the gearshift, under the T-handle. Push it once. There should be a little green light by the speedometer that indicates if you're in OD mode, or not.
it has to.... go to the garage...
Yeah, so exterra just shift into overdrive. That's simply the law of the land
It's actually in the trunk! You might not believe it but my nephew acually has a 2000 ford focus!
overdrive.
The 2000 Ford Focus is a front wheel drive vehicle
If you don't want the transmission to shift into overdrive ( such as when towing a trailer , or driving in hilly country where the transmission is constantly shifting between drive and overdrive ) push the button on the end of the gearsfift selector ( P R N etcetera ) and the O/D OFF light will appear in your dash . Overdrive is the normally allowed position , but on my 1995 Ford Explorer doesn't shift into overdrive until I'm going around 50 Miles Per Hour
Overdrive is the normally allowed position . It won't shift into overdrive until the speed is faster anyway . On my 1995 Ford Explorer it doesn't shift into overdrive until I'm travelling about 50 miles per hour ( if you are towing or driving in hilly country where the transmission is constantly downshifting then you don't use overdrive )
Broken shift linkage
the o/d sun gear shaft is stripped this is commond on these
four wheel drive drive line came disconnected
Sounds like an overdrive problem. The transmission is kicking in and out of overdrive causing it to overwork and get too hot. turn the overdrive off and try it.
You push the little button under the T-handle on the shifter, driver's side.
