Hi guys and gals. Just bought a '97 V6 and love the car!! I am getting familiar with it....I read the Owner's manual and it said there is a button that disengages the overdrive in the automatic trans. Where is this button? Thanks!

 

it should be right under the button that you push to put ur car in drive and reverse neutral 1st 2nd, etc

 

in my 98 it's right under the shift button on the shift ****.

in my 96 its at the base of the shift handle.

left side of the shifter right under the button u push to put the car in gear, its a small grey button

 

I've always wondered what that button was. What exactly is the purpose of O/D? Is it engaged by default and you use the button to disengage it?

 

it allows the car to shift into 4th gear for highway driving

 

There it is!! Thanks guys, I thought they forgot to put it on my car! Car guys are the coolest!

 

Why is mine always lit up? Its stick. Does it make a difernece?

 

I think the o/d button is only for the automatics. For a manual we have an over drive gear which is 5th.

 

exactly
