I have a 1995 Eclipse RS with automatic transmission... I was wondering if I would harm the transmission if I turned off O/D and only turn it on when I'm on the highway. Does it have to be on at all??? Thanks

you'll just get worse gas mileage, all Overdrive is is 4th gear on your transmission.

No, you don't want to use OD unless you are cruising. It shifts too often for daily driving and wears the transmission.
