[Mgs] Overdrive does not work when it is hot.

[Andrew B. Lundgren]

  Normal engine 20w-50 to start with.  Then I read some comments on 
using ND.  I tried that, didn't make a bit of difference.  So I went 
back to normal.  Again with no difference.

By hot I should say after I have been driving on a 80-100 deg day for 
about 30 minutes.  You can feel the heat on the metal plate that the 
gear shifter comes though.  It won't burn you, but you could make a cup 
of noodles on it.  :)
