Over-drive... wuahahaha... not hyper-drive. blush.gif

Over-drive - a small button on my old nissan sentra that if I engage, the gearbox will rev up to gain more power.
For our car, its when u in D-mode but step a lot onto the pedal and it will either down shift or loosen the clutch to gain power.

Hyper drive...like a Sci-Fi Movie laugh.gif

Anyways, when you off your Overdrive, it simply disengages the last gear of your gearbox which is the crusing gear (highest gear). So the highest you'd get for a 6-speed would be the 5th.

Alongside that, you will see that the gears tend to hold longer and will not shift as early as it used to. Higher RPMs provide more torque and that is why there is the surge of power. smile.gif
