Yes it is its called a lenco transmission,mainly used in drag racing or truck pulls. It's basically a manual trans and an automatic. To get the vehical moving you let out the clutch to go but when you shift thru your forward gears you dont use the clutch.

∙ 9y agoMost vehicles with Overdrive, have a button on top of the gear-lever knob to engage or disengage the Overdrive Unit.
Less common is a button on the dash.
Although, looking underneath the vehicle, you will notice a secondary gearbox attached to the gearbox at the axle end, or the gearbox appears longer than usual.

Is manual overdrive in an automatic the same as fifth gear in a manual transmission?
its basically the same thing. an automatic tranny wont go in Overdrive until youre going at a generally constant speed. the same is true with a manual transmission- while driving on average roads (40-55 mph) you will not shift into the final gear until you are going at a constant speed. Overdrive is a gear that turns the vehicle driveshaft faster than the engine and is used to improve fuel mileage (and also lower CO2 emissions). Typically 5 or greater in a manual or 4th gear or greater in an automatic is overdrive but there are exceptions. Because of CAFE (fuel economy standards) virtually all cars and small trucks have come factory with ovedrive since 1981.
