thanks for all the information on overdrives! I'm so glad my ovedrive is
working. I lent the car out (several years ago) and it got delivered back to me
parked up nose close to the garage door. I got in and found the overdrive
engaged and everything locked up tight. I did not wanna back up with od engaged
but putting the car in nuetral did nothing.......nada. would not budge.
Nothing i tried to get the car moved back worked. I grit my teeth and backed up
several feet and could feel things "binding" horribly. The od did keep working
fine. Now if anyone else drives the car i unplug the od.LOL
anyway.........the question about "going up through the gears .........7
ratios...........was mainly for s---- and giggles. I'll try it but won't use it
that way or do that often. I also love od for those situations where your gonna
stay in the same gear but want the two ratios in order to handle traffic or
hills. I never used the clutch for engaging/disengaging od but will start doing
that now that I've learned others do that.
thanks again!
