  2. Overdrive (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overdrive_(mechanics)

    A plate warns to only engage the unit in third and fourth gears. Overdrive is the operation of an automobile cruising at sustained speed with reduced engine speed (rpm), leading to better fuel consumption, lower noise, and lower wear. [1] The term is ambiguous. [1] The most fundamental meaning is that of an overall gear ratio between engine and ...

  3. Ford AOD transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_AOD_transmission

    The AOD (automatic overdrive) is a four-speed automatic transmission, with the 4th gear as overdrive. Introduced in 1980, it was Ford 's first four-speed automatic overdrive transmission. The gearset design is based on the Ford "X" automatic transmissions used during the 1950s, '60s, and '70s. The AOD replaced many of Ford's older transmissions ...

  4. Volvo I-Shift - Wikipedia

    The different versions of the I-Shift are named AT (Automatic Transmission) or ATO, where the O stands for overdrive. The standard versions have a gear ratio of 1:1, while the overdrive has a ratio of 0.78:1, suitable for long-distance use. The numbers show maximum torque in hundreds of newton metres, plus 12 for the number of gears. [1]

It includes one overdrive gear, a lightweight aluminum housing, and adaptability for four wheel drive use. It is currently manufactured by TREMEC. [clarification needed]

  7. Freewheel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freewheel

    In mechanical or automotive engineering, a freewheel or overrunning clutch is a device in a transmission that disengages the driveshaft from the driven shaft when the driven shaft rotates faster than the driveshaft. An overdrive is sometimes mistakenly called a freewheel, but is otherwise unrelated. The condition of a driven shaft spinning ...

  8. Close-ratio transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close-ratio_transmission

    A close-ratio transmission is one which is described relative to another transmission for the same vehicle model. The relativity applies only for the transmissions offered for a single make and model; that is, there is no specific threshold value or accepted industry standard that determines whether the steps between gears constitute a normal or close-ratio transmission.

  9. Mercedes-Benz 5G-Tronic transmission - Wikipedia

    Layout. The 5G-Tronic (model W5A 330 and W5A 580 · type 722.6) is an electronically shifted 5-speed overdrive automatic transmission with torque converter lock-up (typically in gears 3, 4 and 5) and 2-speed for reverse. In all applications this transmission is identified as the N ew A utomatic Gearbox G eneration One, or NAG1.
