overdrive transmission

Overdrive provides a final drive ratio of less than 1:1. This allows the engine to operate at lower rpm at highway cruising speed and provides greater fuel economy, quieter operation, and less wear and tear on the engine. It also helps a vehicle maximize top-end speed. An overdrive cancel button can be used when hauling heavy loads, climbing hills or trailer towing to prevent the transmission from repeatedly shifting up and down.
