Overdrive means the wheels are turning faster than the engine so gas is saved, (5th gear would be overdrive) however if you want to accelerate quickly you will have to shift into a lower gear which would make the engine turn faster than the wheels.
Honda Manual Transmission Fluid is recommended for a 5-speed manual B16A motor. Amsoil Manual Transmission Fluid will also work in a 5-speed manual B16A motor.
Assuming you have a 4.3 GM engine, the manual is probably an NV3500 five speed overdrive transmission. You can use it on a 5.0, 5.3, or 5.7 V8, but if you turbocharge those engines, or try using it on a big block V8, the torque will be way excessive for that transmission - you would need to upgrade to the NV4500.

Overdrive might not work on a 1992 Dakota because there is a problem with the transmission. The shift solenoid or a belt is not functioning properly inside the transmission.

The overdrive button on a 1997 Crown Victoria may not work due to several potential issues. Common causes include a faulty overdrive switch, a malfunctioning vehicle speed sensor, or problems with the transmission itself. Additionally, low transmission fluid levels or old fluid can affect overdrive functionality. It's best to have the vehicle diagnosed by a professional to identify and resolve the specific issue.
Over drive is always to reduce engine RPM at Med to high speed cruise thus saving fuel. If this is an Automatic car just ignore the Overdrive and let it work. If this is a manual car use over Drive when maintaining a steady speed and the car will not "Labour" to do so.
The ECU for an automatic can be used in a manual transmission. However, it will not work vice-versa with the ECU from a manual transmission in an automatic.
First the gear could be out. The other issue could be with the linkage itself in the transmission thus it won't go into overdrive.
To disconnect the overdrive in a 2001 Pontiac Grand-Am GT with a 3400 engine, locate the overdrive button on the gear shifter. Press the button to turn off the overdrive function; this will prevent the transmission from shifting into the highest gear. If you need to disable it permanently, you may need to disconnect the overdrive solenoid in the transmission, but this requires more extensive mechanical work. Always refer to a service manual for specific instructions and safety precautions.
