What happens is this. When the O/D button is out and the light off, the transmission will go through all the gears including overdrive, which is the highest gear. The O/D button is not actually to engage it, but to lock it out. It is used for overtaking, climbing hills or towing. It means that when the button is pressed and the “O/D Off” light comes on, the car will not go into top gear which is gear four for most automatics from Japan. So if your transmission is four gears, and the overdrive is set to off, the car will be limited to three gears and won’t shift into the fourth. This is why when doing high speeds and you press the overdrive button, there is a downshift from the highest gear. 1 Like |
