Re: Overdrive???

actually, it's best to leave overdrive off unless your on the highway b/c excessive shifting causes heat and that heat wears a transmission down. And with these A-500/518 transmissions, leave OD off because overdrive is controlled by a 845 ft lb coil spring; that coil spring constantly engaging and disengaging only causes hell in these transmissions and can make them fail quicker than having it in normal OD.
