sir, have you been drinking?

you have less power at overdrive because you are in overdrive, if you don't know what the meaning of overdrive, it's something about ratio

underdrive 1:.5
direct drive 1:1
overdrive1:1.2

5/6th gear? yeah?

how could you have a running car, assuming you are in the right speed for overdrive with 0rpm? are you running some kind of electronic motor?

sir tis sad but you know less abou cars than myself.

the fans stay on to cool make sure ur engine returns or stays in its cool/cold state.

no clue about your rpm/overdrive problem tho. besides the fact you dont understand it.

just like my friend who found the button... turned it on for about 2 months until his reverse gear shut down, drove it for 2 months without reverse, reverse popped back in and bout a week later shut off again.
