One last silly question about OD useage! 200 1989

posted by  someone claiming to be ugly duckling on  Thu Oct 31 03:40 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Car is an 89 245 with OD

Okay guys, one last question that will clarify something for me (for good!). Is the OD always on by default? The manual says that everytime the car is started, the OD will automatically be engaged. For example, if I have OD off and turn off engine, the OD will engage upon the next start up. I understand that OD is like a fourth gear. And when it is engaged, can I still drive at very slow speeds, like 5-25mph? I guess I'm still under the impression that for speeds under 40mph, have OD off. And when I reach 40mph, engage OD. The big question is CAN I JUST DRIVE AT ALL SPEEDS WITH OD ON? I don't tow anything or drive on steep grades often. So I should be fine driving at 5mph with OD on or at 60mph with OD on? Thanks guys.
