it shouldnt act differently. it just keeps you out of your overdrive (4th) gear

when you get in your car and start it does your OD light automatically come on?? if yes then just leave it as it is wether you race or not turning it off just means you will be running with no overdrive you dont lose and hp or anything like that just wont pick up as quickly.

no. it will "pick up" the exact same unless tuned otherwise.

no. it uses 1-2-3-and 4 when od is on.
you must turn od off because it is on as default.
when off, it uses 1-2- and 3.

+1 100% correct!

Bottom line guys and read carefully here when overdrive is deactivated the only thing this does is stop the transmission from switching into your 4th gear (OD gear) bottom line it don't affect acceleration or any of that so stop saying it stop thinking it and stop telling the poor guy it your confusing the shit out of him god damn do people not read my posts or AtlanticBlue99's posts. the only advantage of switching the overdrive off is allowing your car to stay in the 3rd gear in its power band at the high rpm. INSTEAD of switching into the 4th gear (again OD gear) which is meant for economy and is a more relaxed gear ratio. Bottom line

So what's the point to turn OD off, how fast do you have to be going to flip into 4th gear I never payed attention to that. __________________ 2000 3.8l mustang v6 automatic - Stock.

your car will hit OD whenever your accelerator is in a cruzing (non accelerating ) position it helps save fuel thats all.

Redline Regular Join Date: Jan 2007 Posts: 213	Ok I think I finialy under stand! What my understanding is that with OD on you use all gears 1-4 and if you are just crusing then it will flip into 4th gear. Now with OD off it will go through only the first 3 gears and if you are crusing it will not flip you into 4 gear. So with racing it doesn't matter if OD is on or off because your rpm will be high. Is that all right? Also what would happen if you are driving with OD off and you are near the top speed for your 3rd gear? would the rpms just get higher and higher and bounce off the limiter ? __________________ 2000 3.8l mustang v6 automatic - Stock.
