I dont understand

I was reading autotrader.com about my 1999 Honda Civic Dx I saw the 5 speed Manual (what i have) and it said it is has over drive. Now how do you get a 5 speed Overdrive. There are no botton to cut it on so does it do it by it self or what. And how does that work

well first off 5th gear is considered overdrive, so if they said 5 speed WITH overdrive then it is a typo............so now you know...

If you car was an automatic then it had overdrive. You should check out more things on the web and start learning about yoru car.

Whats wrong with automatic? Youd fall asleep? I hate people who are prejudice against automatics for the sole purpose of "manual is cooler".

what they meant is that the first 4 gears are reasonably close ratio for normal driving... 5th is intended as a highway overdrive gear and usually is not as close of a ratio

I dislike auto very much and think if your tuning a car thats an automatic ur gay Whats the purpose of having a nice car thats an automatic, unless ur all show! "manual is cooler" lol that and they are 10 times as more fun and faster. I would NEVER own an automatic unless i lost both of the my legs or sometihng and the only way i could drive would to be to drive an automatic. But hey this is just my opinion, when i see a nice car and i find out its an auto I laugh, and most ppl do too. So whatever you wanna say chris, your wrong...
