Overdrive question 200 1983

posted by  someone claiming to be Ugly Duckling on  Thu Nov 9 08:34 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Hi all!

My car is a 3 speed with OVERDRIVE. However, the OD does not work. Will driving on the freeway at 65-75mph in 3rd gear hurt the tranny or the engine? I'm aware that I may reduce my economy without OD, but will anything else be hurt?

Exactly what is OD? Is it the 4th gear? BTW, my tach doesn't work either. Will going at 70mph in 3rd gear without OD rev it to redline? I had to drive it on the freeway for 45miles to get home.

Thanks in advance! Oh, I just got my 1983 240GL wagon yesterday and am so excited! I love Volvos and have been wanting to get a 240 wagon as a project/secondary car. Finally got one! It needs new shocks. How much will it cost to replace all four?
