		An overdrive is a device which was commonly used on rear-wheel drive automobiles to allow the choice of an extra-high overall gear ratio for high speed cruising, thus saving fuel, at the cost of less torque.
		The overdrive consists of an electrically or hydraulically operated epicyclic gear train bolted behind the transmission unit.
		In newer transmissions, the overdrive speed(s) are typically as a result of combinations of planetary/epicyclic gearsets which are integrated in the transmission.

		This is surprising since as an optional extra overdrive on a 3-syncro car cost about £60.00 whereas the second-hand value of an overdrive car was about £100.00 more than the equivalent non-overdrive example.
		Ideally a second-hand gearbox and overdrive should be sourced but these are quite rare, especially the early 3-syncro gearbox with the Laycock Type D overdrive.
		The dash mounted overdrive switch along with the plinth should be fitted into the hole already provided in the dashboard to the right of the fuel gauge.

		On left hand steered Defenders you may have to remove and replace the hand brake lever to drill the hole as the lever emerges between the hand brake boot and the transmission tunnel, and there is very little space.

		This means that there no longer is a mechanical connection between the gas pedal and the throttle: There is a sensor connected to the gas pedal.
		Overdrive allows the engine to have less rpm with higher speed for better fuel efficiency.
		When you switch it on, you allow the transmission to shift into overdrive mode after a certain speed has been reached (usually 30-40 mph depending on the load).

		I called local mechanics and much to my dismay I was quoted an average of $1900 to replace it.
		I am confuse too, I guess overdrive is sth can keep the gear shifting at high rpm to avoid damage to engine and tranny, when the car is over loaded.
		Originally, and technically still, i guess, overdrive was a separate (planetary)gearset of sorts, so you could have an overdrive gear not only in top gear but also some of the lower gears.

		Don't ask a conscientious mechanic to do a half-baked job just to get you by; patch jobs are usually false economy.
		And don't expect a mechanic to predict the exact moment of failure for a deteriorated component.
		Chances are you won't want to lug the greasy old widget home, but at least ask the mechanic or service manager to let you inspect the old part and explain exactly why it needed replacement.

	Nissan 300zx Repair Questions and Answers
		When I switch the overdrive on, it stays in third gear even when the car is warmed up.
		The switch and overdrive solenoid are working but I have been to several auto electricians and they cannot seem to find the fault.
		Answer: The overdrive circuit is controlled by the engine temperature sensor to prevent it from going into overdrive when the engine is cold.

	Guitars: Glossary
		A capo (short for capotasto, from Italian, literally; 'head of fingerboard') is a movable bar attached to the fingerboard of a fretted instrument to uniformly raise the pitch of all the strings.
		There are several different styles of capo available, utilizing a range of mechanisms, but most use a rubber-covered bar to hold down the strings, fastened with a strip of elastic or nylon, a cam-operated metal clamp, or other device.
		Because of the mechanical nature of their operation, dynamic mics are commonly less sensitive to transients, and may not reproduce quite the high frequency "detail" other types of mics can produce.

		mechanical advantage (i.e increase in torque) to allow higher forces to be generated.
		This and similar attempts to improve the fuel efficiency with overdrive gears which automatically actuate above certain speeds sometimes become intrusive, when conditions are such that they constantly cut in and out as speed and such load factors as grade or wind vary slightly.
		For bicycles, the older style, in which the freewheel mechanism is included in the gear assembly, is called a freewheel, whereas the newer style, in which the freewheel mechanism is in the hub, is called a freehub.

		When it's in overdrive though, it just sounds like something is powering down, if you can think to whatever sci-fi movie as a reference point.
		I'm not sure what to think of this-it's my first car, and for all I know this could be normal, but I doubt it.
		So when it goes into overdrive, it may be engaging a failed lockup clutch.

		In mechanics, overdrive is a gearing mechanism of a motor vehicle engine that reduces the power output required to maintain driving speed in a specific range by lowering the gear ratio.
		In audio, overdrive is generally considered to be another word for distortion or clipping.

		So if you drove a car 15,000 miles a year, you'd be visiting your mechanic every other month or so.
		And because most folks rank car repair right up there with, say, root-canal work on the list of life's most unpleasant duties, in those good ol' days maintaining a car properly was a real pain.
		But although the tune-up has become a quaint anachronism and fluids and oils have become longer-lasting, professional mechanics needn't pack up their tools and head for the unemployment lines just yet.

		While it was being fixed the mechanic (my cousin) checked my car for the proper ratios and compression that my car should have, and he said everything checked out right.
		My overdrive only saved me like 200 rpms, so I doubt it makes a huge difference.
		I told you I unplugged the overdrive thing from the block, so yes the service engine soon light is on, but it's because the actual thing is unplugged.

	Howstuffworks "How Automatic Transmissions Work"
		In order to improve efficiency, some cars have a mechanism that locks up the torque converter so that the output of the engine goes straight to the transmission.
		In this transmission, when overdrive is engaged, a shaft that is attached to the housing of the torque converter (which is bolted to the flywheel of the engine) is connected by clutch to the planet carrier.
		The small sun gear freewheels, and the larger sun gear is held by the overdrive band.

	bwtf.com: Ben's World of Transformers (Alternators)
		While this sculpt was intended to be an update of the G1 Transformer Overdrive, Hasbro has released the sculpt as the G1 character Windcharger.
		Reflecting the country he was released in, Windcharger's steering wheel is on the left side of the dashboard instead of the right.
		However, Overdrive is obscure as far as G1 characters go, and Windcharger is not exactly a headliner like Optimus Prime or Megatron.

	1949 VJ-3 Jeepster: Transmission and Overdrive
		In 1948 the Overdrive was optional for around a hundred bucks, and it became standard in 1949.
		In the Jeepsters, the Borg-Warner model R-10 Overdrive unit is mounted to the output end of the transmission and is actually a 2nd transmission.
		The mainshaft on O/D units is longer than the non O/D units in order for it to act as the input shaft for the O/D. Disassembly of the T-96 is fairly straight forward and similar to the T-90 for which there are lots of sources on rebuilding.

		We learned about the mechanics of consciousness conceptually, and then walked the grounds to exercise our newfound knowledge experientially.

		There is no common time of occurrence, such as only when the engine is cold or only hot etc. I have had a mechanic put the engine on an analyzer and it did not reveal any problems.
		I replaced the plugs, wires, fuel filter, catalytic converter, and have added slick 50-fuel treatment along with running only 93-octane gas, none of this has solved the problem.
		My car is a 1984 Nissan 300 ZX with a three speed automatic with an electronic overdrive for fourth gear.
