lakas sa gas niyan.....

ang tingin ko naman sa OD....is mataas ang gearing kapag naka on...so mas mabilis...pero mahina ang torque....

mas matipid sa gas pag naka on...pero mahina ang batak...
gets?

opps my idea nung city driving yung ma traffic he..he
anyways turn it off kapag sa busy streets

in driving, if the O/D is set to off while driving on both city and highway, will that trigger higher temp on the engine?

not in the engine... more of higher temperature in your tranny. If you drive long distances often, you might want to have a transmission cooler installed.

Any gear whose ratio is less than 1.000 is considered an overdrive gear.

So dalawa pala ang overdrive gears nung MDX ko dati :?:

MDX Gear Ratios:
1st / 2.693
2nd / 1.566
3rd / 1.023
4th / 0.729
5th / 0.531

Nagtatanong lang po 8)

odell, OFF ang O/D pag gusto mong humatak ang A/T pero di tipid sa gas. Kung gusto mo ng more technical explanation, nasa first page :mrgreen:

OTEP, kaya pala sa tech specs ng car ko nakalagay Manual with O/D then naghahanap ako ng O/D switch. :mrgreen: yun pala, 5th gear yung O/D or may O/D ba?! :mrgreen:

Macky,
Yep, dalawa ang overdrive gears mo if that is the case. Pero pansin ko lang, most O/D off switches only cancel top gear. Ganun din ba sa MDX?

kiper,
O/D on mo parin. Ako kahit city driving umaabot ng 5th gear.

For special circumstances lang ang O/D off. Kaya nga may warning lamp to inform you that it is off.

Walang O/D switch sa MDX..... gated gear selection already has D5, D4, D3, 2, and 1..... Siguro kaya ganito ginawa ng Honda para makatipid sa gas mileage. Usually kasi ang complaints dito about midsuze/fullsize SUVs is matakaw sa gas. By having 2 ODs, makakamenos nga naman sila sa gas consumption.
