- Hi again - Now that I have you all thinking about O/Ds, what is the accepted method for engaging/disengaging it? Use the clutch? Just back off on the gas? (Thanks for the suggestion, Mike). Any parti

- I occasionally use 3rd with overdrive when I am cruising in town and the speed limit is 40 to 50. Not high enough for 4th gear and a bit much for 3rd without OD. As for shifting, I don't use the clu

- Joe - you use 3rd with overdrive at 40-50? I occasionally use it for cruising at about 30. At 35-40 I use 4th, and at anything over 40 I use 4th with overdrive. That'll give me around the 2000 revs m

- Mine does that as well, I believe the reason it does that is to build up fluid pressure to move the valves, or something. I guess the severity that it does it would determine if it is supposed to do

- I've never seen any numbers which reflect that issue, but I'd have to guess that it is pretty low, maybe less than 20 percent judging by the difficulty in finding one. Joe -- "If you can't excel with

- I have a 1500 with a MkIV D-type OD tranny. My differential is a 3.89 from a 1500 and I have 175-70sr13 tires. I don't know how much of a difference that all makes, but I like to have the tach a bit

- The reson that the overdrive is not used in 1st and 2nd is a question of propshaft speed, not torque. If you have ever seen the inside of a J type you know how strong these things are. They are used
