What is overdrive gear and how to use it info

What is overdrive gear and how to use it info. This car is Toyota Camry automatic.

[@DiarmuidNZ]

Thank you Peter for your very informative and helpful-to-me video. I tried changing overdrive to 'on' and 'off' (on my Isuzu Bighorn) as you portrayed, at various speeds, and it all worked out as you demonstrated. Please forgive the negative comments from folks who have never been overseas or never met anyone from beyond their local neighbourhood. And thanks to those prior comment- makers who encouraged new viewers to just listen; persevere; learn and not be unduly prejudgiced.

[@danielslaughter104]

for everyone still confused, overdrive lowers RPM acting as an extra gear to save gas. at higher RPM your engine uses more gas to rotate it at the high revs. with overdrive it reduces the need for extra gas by slowing the RPM.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Thank You for feedback. :-)

[@cajjesra269]

Overdrive off (o/d off) keeps the car at third gear. The rpm is higher because of the smaller gear. You killing the car if you go over 60/80.

[@MichelLinschoten]

It's simple, this dude explains it like it's hard to understand. The input shaft turns (EXAMPLE) 2/3th turn as the output shaft will make a FULL turn that's all overdrive is. It will indeed save gas and make it more responsive/lively.

Thanks 👍👍👍

[@titusstanleykiwumulo4700]

I also thought the same, know I know better. When the OD OFF light is showing on the dashboard that means you are in economy mode. (No need for much power) when you need much power you press the button to turn the light off, meaning you have enable OD for more power and high fuel consumption uphill.

[@munenedenis3377]

Indeed

[@g.b.2236]

Thanks for your time to explain the overdrive. Sure, it is a fuel saver and engine wear reducer. But my only use for the option of deactivating the o/d is while pulling a trailer. The added drag of the trailer changes the requirements on the transmission, in my case, to a point where the transmission at highway speed is always near the point downshifting out of o/d into 5th gear on my FJ Cruiser. This causes frequent shifts up and down just to maintain a constant speed on anything but a flat surface. Disabling o/d here makes for less wear on the engine and transmission by keeping it in 5th. And yes, if I would drive faster the drag increase might keep it in 5th. Or conversely slower driving may allow it to stay in overdrive.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

+G. B. Thank You for comment. :-)

[@user-ec8jo2gx9d]

In overdrive there is a special gear that connect the engine with the wheels directly dismissing the transmission completely thus being very economical at the highway.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Pretty much!

[@qwertiee]

*FOR ANYONE WHO DOESN'T UNDERSTAND* Turning off overdrive just stops the transmission from switching to 4th gear, therefore the revs will be higher since the transmission is still stuck at 3rd gear... And it's just usual knowledge that higher revs equals more engine power (Which is why people would want to use this feature). The issue with this is that while you are benefitting from the higher revs and extra power, the car is also using *much* more fuel compared to usual since the car isn't switching to the 4th gear

[@TESLA-fc6wm]

So..when are u suppose to use it...and is it safe to turn it off whlie driving at high speed,,or u have to slow down first to turn it off...

[@haroonrashid8819]

Turning off OD just stop gear from shifting to 4th (top) gear to get more power at the cost of more ⛽️ consumption

[@JesseGunter]

If you're pulling a really heavy load, turn off O/D when going up hill if you need. It's like having a 5th gear. It allows you to go get much better economy. Think about how when you shift into a lower gear on a bike. It's a lot easier to do when you're already going, takes less energy than peddling second gear, and allows you to go faster, but hills are harder to get up unless you already have momentum. Same deal for the car.

[@jerrinmathew3340]

hi peter, big fan of yours..i seee in the video you switching overdrive on and off while driving at 80mph.. isnt that bad for the gearbox as its making the gears and rpm to shift erratically? shouldnt you slow down below 30mph before turning it on and off? thanx

[@camryle5590]

Thank you for these informations. I have a little question: if I press the gas pedal strongly, does it do the same purpose?

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

No. This name is Kick down system. Gas pedal strongly changes current gear to smaller gear.

[@dafawkes7868]

okay, I know NOTHING about cars, so I've been trying to get this concept into my head for a bit, tell me if I'm wrong, but: Overdrive is basically something you can use from the 3rd gear up usually, and it can keep my revolutions down while making my car push harder, so basically it is like switching to the hardest gear of a bicycle, right? except it's not me pedaling, but the engine?

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

+fawkesianaut 23 Yes. It is like gear 6.

[@wes1934]

To put it simply, pushing the button turns O/D off. All this does is disable the car from entering the highest gear. That's it. If you're automatic car has 4 gears, and the you push the O/D off button, the car won't shift above 3rd gear no matter how fast you go.

So basically when overdrive off light( on dash) is on the car is gonna stay in lower gear(say the limit is 3th gear and not going to 4 th gear so higher rpm) and over drive on( light not on dash) it’s gonna go through all the gears (now it can go to 4th gear) to save gas and be at a lower rpm.

[@PankajKumar-ic8ds]

Hello Gentlemen You give a very impressive knowledge. I want to know What is use of 2 and L mode?

[@michaelflat2790]

keep the transmission in lower gears for more rpm, might make it faster too since you dont have to wait for the transmission to drop gears when you push the gas.. also helps on hills to slow down with engine

[@markflierl1624]

L is first gear. Your car will stay in first gear. I never use. 2 is second gear. Your car will only be able to shift between first and second gears. I sometimes use going down a steep hill. It will allow the engine to do your braking. D is Drive. Your car will use all three gears and overdrive if the button is on.

[@NoahStakes]

So it won't damage your car if you turn O/D on or off while driving. I have a 1999 Grand Marquis and have always left it on. Scotty Kilmer used my car in one of his videos too and talked about it.

[@huntguy3831]

Just going by my experience driving with over drive on/off. I think with over drive off it gives you more torque and with it off it gives you more acceleration. So by my understanding when you are off the highway don't use overdrive and when on the highway use it. Is that right?

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Hunt Guy Overdrive gives little better fuel consumption.

[@huntguy3831]

Peter Finn Ok, Thanks!

[@LongJourney93]

Having O/D off and traction off gives the its max potential.

[@wrthndr69]

Hunt Guy you can use it to lower the revs on your engine when cruising at a constant speed and to make the transmission brake you harder when you release the accelerator pedal.That's all you should use it for.Accelerating quickly should be done without overdrive and generally applying more power to the wheels should be done without overdrive...

I have three questions, first does Off give more acceleration from 0-30 km/h for example? also is the maximum horsepower stated in the car manual with overdrive on or off? How is the speed the same with more power? (when it increased 800 rpm) Answer what you can and thanks!

[@unboxviews]

Yes it gives more acceleration because it changes the gear more later with higher revs making the car accelerate faster, than what it would be in the next gear slowly accelerating. The Horse Power is a mesurement of how much energy the engine can produce, 1 horse power = 746watts, so the horse power stated in the manual is the limit of the engine, the overdrive (on/off) option will only make you reach that limit number of horsepower (faster or slower) but it will not give you more horsepower. You will eventually reach the limit and thats the top you can get, so it only changes the time it will take you on eaching the horsepower limit. So it doesnt matter if its on or off the horsepower will always remain the same. The speed is not the same with an increase of 800rpm, you get more torque and that gives you more acceleration. Torque is needed to climb faster or reach a certain speed much faster
