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.
i think so
the output rpm is higher than the input rpm, thus the engine runs at a slower rpm using less fuel
They have a crank handle on them that you turn to open or close.
It should tell you in the owners manual. It varies between cars. GoodluckJoe
Mona Lisa Overdrive was created in 1988.
Most cars can't.
For cars that have an automatic transmission, overdrive lockout turned 'off' (overdrive will engage), is the default option.
The final gear ratio. Exp. 5th gear
if it is an automatic leave it in overdrive. the transmission knows when to change into the overdrive gear. if it is a manual listen to the motor. if you have in overdrive and it bogs down while accelerating then down shift to a lower gear.
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.
Brand new cars must have an owners manual when sold but used cars do not and more often than not there is no owners manual in a used car.
no adjustment on the 5speed manual transmission with overdrive. hydraulic clutch
To turn off Overdrive (OD) in a car, locate the gear selector on the transmission. If your vehicle has an OD button, press it to deactivate overdrive, which is often indicated by a light on the dashboard. In some cars, you may need to shift the gear lever to a lower gear (like "D" or "3") to disable overdrive. Always refer to your owner's manual for specific instructions related to your vehicle's make and model.
Yes, manual cars are available for rent at our rental agency.
Neither. Racing is almost always in manual transmission.
There may be a reason why a Ford Expedition's overdrive light is flashing. Check the manual to see if there is a reason. If not, take your Ford to a mechanic.
Overdrive relay switch behind the middle air vents..... Manual Transmission: the wires sometimes break if it is the type with the button on the gear/knob/ stick........... if it is a manual transmission.......the switch on the gearbox which tells when 4th gear is engaged can be faulty.....and will not allow the overdrive to engaged.
