um, yeah it's called 5th gear. Overdrive is for automatics. I've never seen a 5spd with overdrive.

Umm... no... look up the gear ratios on our tranny...

5th is less than 1:1... so it's overdrive...

Actually, I think it had the OD logo on the shift knob for the 90's Explorers with a stick. But that's the only time I've ever seen it referred to as Overdrive.

Good grief... are half of y'all total car noobs or something?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overdrive_%28mechanics%29

Read the article....

An "Overdrive" gear is anything with a ratio less than 1:1.... which means the drive shaft will be spinning faster than the engine is.

Don't get these guys confused. A driveshaft between a transmission and rear end, will certainly do what you describe, but in a transaxle setup, the half shafts will not.
