Where the **** did you learn about gear boxes!!! "over drive" is a taller gear so the car will do a greater speed at lower revs, the O.D in most cars is for high speed cruising (long distances)

Take you BA XR6/8, FPV GT 4 speed auto, 3rd gear should be a 1:1 ratio and 4th gear being the over drive will be about 0.65:1, basically you get more out then you put in!
