Whats the deal guys and gals. lol, you have 4 gears on your auto supra, overdrive is the 4th gear, turning it off means the vehicle wont go into 4th gear, used for perhaps getting ready to overtake etc and getting the revs up. Drive with it on all the time as you wont be getting very good MPG otherwise and you probably wont be able to do over 100mph Think of it as your 5th gear in a manual car (with 5 gears!) o/d would mean that it stops you from using 5th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Class One Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 O/d on. Otherwise you'll never get 4th (O/d) See here for a full guide to the autobox operation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Over drive is the 4th gear, if you want to earn serious airmiles (as mig puts it)... leave it off.... In all honesty, leave overdrive on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
