One of these ideas might help... (I can't advise much without knowing what type of engine set up you have) Give it a tune up. Bad plugs and wires can cause this type of hesitation. The tranny may require service. A good flush every 50,000 to 70,000 miles is highly recommended. You may just need a new tranny selenoid. If you have a distributor, then you can also check the module inside. It can usually be tested at your local parts store free of charge. If you have ignition coils, then you may have one that's going bad.

When to turn off overdrive in your car?

The overdrive should be switched off when you want to avoid unneccessary shifting. If you are driving on a hilly road, the vehicle will shift out of overdrive going uphill to maintain speed while pulling the vehicles weight up the hill, and shift into overdrive going down the hill to save fuel when additional engine power is not needed. When towing with an automatic transmission, the vehicle may tend to repeatedly shift in and out of overdrive due to the added weight. In scenerios such as these, you should turn off the overdrive to avoid the unneccesary shifting which puts more wear and tear on the transmission.
