Can someone explain, in layman's terms ( !! ) Overdrive? What, exactly, is
it? How does it work? How does it improve gas mileage? Why does it sound as
if my Dak is working harder when I turn it off?
I had thought that Overdrive simply forced the tranny into a lower gear on
demand to give you a boost (like downshifting manually on a grade or to get
the torque neccessary to pass a BigRig quicky).
