The power produced by an engine increases with the engine's RPM to a maximum, then falls away. A car's speed is limited by the power required to drive it against air resistance, which increases with speed. At the maximum possible speed, the engine is running at its point of maximum power, or power peak, and the car is traveling at the speed where air resistance equals that maximum power. Therefore, a car needs one gearing to reach maximum speed but another to reach maximum fuelAchieving an overdriven ratio for cruising thus required a gearbox ratio even higher than this, i.e. the gearbox output shaft rotating faster than the engine.These produce two primary forces slowing the car: rolling resistance and air drag. The former varies roughly with the speed of the vehicle, while the latter varies with the square of the speed. Calculating these from first principles is generally difficult due to a variety of real-world factors, so this is often measured directly in wind tunnels and similar systems.This is known as the point of maximum power. Given a curve describing the overall drag on the vehicle, it is simple to find the speed at which the total drag forces are the same as the maximum power of the engine. This defines the maximum speed the vehicle is able to reach.In this case the RPM of the engine has changed significantly while the RPM of the wheels has changed very little. Clearly this condition calls for a different gear ratio. If one is not supplied, the engine is forced to run at a higher RPM than optimal. As the engine requires more power to overcome internal friction at higher RPM, this means more fuel is used simply to keep the engine running at this speed. Every cycle of the engine leads to wear, so keeping the engine at higher RPM is also unfavorable for engine life.http://www.ozgraving.ru/userfiles/bosch-maxx-5-washer-manual.xml
In an era when cars were not able to travel very fast, the maximum power point might be near enough to the desired speed that additional gears were not needed. But as more powerful cars appeared, especially during the 1960s, this disparity between the maximum power point and desired speed grew considerably. This meant that cars were often operating far from their most efficient point.Indeed, in modern vehicles this is common. However, due to historical particularities, this was not always practical. The reason for this separation of duties between the front and back of the car was to allow the drive shaft to run at lower torque, by using higher RPM. As power is the product of RPM and torque, running the shaft at higher RPM allowed more power to be transferred at lower torque. Doing so reduced the torque the driveshaft had to carry, and thus the strength and weight it required. This is chosen for efficiency, as it does not require any gears to transmit power and so reduces the power lost by them. This was particularly important in the early days of cars, as their straight-cut gears were poorly finished, noisy and inefficient. The final drive then took this output and adjusted it in a fixed-ratio transmission arrangement that was much simpler to build.As noted earlier, however, this would cause the engine to operate at too high an RPM for efficient cruising. Although adding the cruising gear to the main gearbox was possible, it was generally simpler to add a separate two-gear overdrive system to the existing gearbox. This not only meant that it could be tuned for different vehicles, but had the additional advantage that it could be offered as an easily installed option.Overdrive allows the engine to operate at a lower RPM for a given road speed. This allows the vehicle to achieve better fuel efficiency, and often quieter operation on the highway. When it is off, the automatic transmission shifting is limited to the lower gears.http://agro-avangard.ru/public/bosch-maxx-5-washer-manual.xml
When less load is present, it shifts back to OD. It may also be advantageous to switch it off if engine braking is desired, for example when driving downhill. The vehicle's owner's manual will often contain information and suitable procedures regarding such situations, for each given vehicle.In the automotive aftermarket you can also retrofit overdrive to existing early transmissions. Overdrive was widely used in European automobiles with manual transmission in the 60s and 70s to improve mileage and sport driving as a bolt-on option but it became increasingly more common for later transmissions to have this gear built in. If a vehicle is equipped with a bolt-on overdrive (e.g.: GKN or Gear Vendors) as opposed to having an overdrive built in one will typically have the option to use the overdrive in more gears than just the top gear. In this case gear changing is still possible in all gears, even with overdrive disconnected. In practice this gives the driver more ratios which are closer together providing greater flexibility particularly in performance cars.For example, the ZF 8HP transmission has 8 forward gears, two of which are overdrive ( clutch. Newer vehicles have electronic overdrive in which the computer automatically adjusts to the conditions of power need and load.De Normanville overdrives were found in vehicles manufactured by Standard-Triumph, who were first, followed by Ford, BMC and British Leyland, Jaguar, Rootes Group and Volvo to name only a few. Another British company, the former aircraft builder Fairey, built a successful all-mechanical unit for the Land Rover, which is still in production in America today.The first unit to be created was the A-type overdrive, which was fitted to many sports cars during the 1950s, and into the late 1960s.https://www.informaquiz.it/petrgenis1604790/status/flotaganis17032022-2150
Several famous marques used A-type overdrives, including Jaguar, Aston Martin, Ferrari, Austin-Healey, Jensen, Bristol, AC, Armstrong Siddeley and Triumph's TR sports car range, from the TR2 through to the end of the 1972 model year of the TR6.The Volvo version kept the same package size as the J-type but with the updated 18 element freewheel and stronger splines through the planet carrier. The Gear Vendors U.S. version uses a larger 1.375 outer diameter output shaft for higher capacity and a longer rear case.Through a system of oil pressure, solenoids and pistons, the overdrive would drop the revs on whatever gears it was used on by 22 (.778). For instance, the overdrive system applied to a Triumph TR5 operates on 2nd, 3rd and top gear. When engaged, the overdrive would drop the revs from 3000 by 666 RPM, or from 3500 the drop would be 777 RPM to 2723 net. The advantages this reduced rpm had on fuel consumption was most often quite near 22 decrease during highway driving.With substantial improvements developed in Muncie, Indiana, by William B. Barnes for production by its Warner Gear Division, BorgWarner provided the box that was factory-installed between the transmission and a foreshortened driveshaft. Since the overdrive function, if enabled, could be shifted by simply easing up on the accelerator without depressing the clutch pedal, the action was much like a semi-automatic. Also, an electrically operated solenoid would deactivate the unit via a switch under the accelerator pedal providing the equivalent of the kickdown of the automatic. A knob connected to a bowden cable, similar to some emergency brake applications, was also provided to lock out the unit mechanically.Since 1981 U.S. corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) legislation, virtually all domestic vehicles have included overdrive to save fuel. One should refer to the car's owner's manual for the proper speed to run at overdrive.http://8forwine.com/images/4-speed-manual-transmission-mopar.pdf
All engines have a range of peak efficiency and it is possible for the use of overdrive to keep the engine out of this range for all or part of the time of its use if used at inappropriate speeds, thus cutting into any fuel savings from the lower engine speed.The rotation speed problem comes into effect when the differential gearing is a high ratio and an overdrive is used to compensate. This may create unpleasant vibrations at high speeds and possible destruction of the driveshaft due to the centripetal forces or uneven balance.This is especially important because the differential gears are bathed in heavy oil and seldom provided with any cooling besides air blowing over the housing.This is part of the reason that modern automobiles tend to have larger numbers of gears in their transmissions. It is also why more than one overdrive gear is seldom seen in a vehicle except in special circumstances i.e. where high (numerical) differential gear is required to get the vehicle moving as in trucks or performance cars though double overdrive transmissions are common in other vehicles, often with a small number on the axle gear reduction, but usually only engage at speeds exceeding 100 kilometres per hour (62 mph).By using this site, you agree to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. Overdrive is the first reason you are going to add the Gear Vendors. 28.6 faster cruising speeds than you have now. Your 4.10 gears will cruise like 3.20s and your 3.55 will cruise like 2.77s. If you are normally aspirated expect 28 better fuel economy. If you have forced induction expect 50 better mpg. Performance is what the Gear Vendors is all about. This product is a very high-tech planetary overdrive. With our Auto-Launch circuit on you will leave the line in 1st and as the engine gains revs it will automatically shift clutchless to 1st-overdrive. This means you are 28 farther down the track or street before you have to clutch the car.
This is key to acceleration as otherwise any manual trans car gives up big hunks of time to an automatic on the 1-2shift. Gear Vendors 1st-over ratio is only 7 hundredths different than having shifted to 2nd (not discernable and actually closer in ratio). It is not just 1st-over where you can use this clutchless shift. You can be in 2nd just boulevard cruising and show off by stepping on the throttle and hitting the Gear Vendors button on your sifter for 2nd-over which is identical (exact same ratio) as having shifted to 3rd but only clutchless (and with a nice bark of the tires). Most street guys will just grab a clutchless gear at whatever moment they start accelerating and then progress up through the gear box leaving the overdrive on so that each gear is just now up a step. The bracket racers and serious street guys will flip the 3-4 side cover lever over so they can easily have two clutchless shifts in the A? mile with just one clutch depression. Flipping the 3-4 cover lever over lets them grab with a straight pull back because it moves 3rd to the 4th gear position on the pattern. Just awesome performance gains greater than a full second on the watch, increased mph and far more performance than any 5spd or 6spd tranny swap. So you get a 5th gear overdrive and at least one clutchless shiftto be used at any moment (we ship the kit with our 6speed car badges) and a huge performance gain plus get to retain your period correct transmission in the car and get the worlds strongest overdrive trans. Since your Muncie or BorgWarner is stronger than any non-race 5 or 6 speed, the Gear Vendors is just he right way to get overdrive in your GM manual performance car.

The Final Drive Ratio shows you how many times the engine turns for one complete turn of the tires.
Gears are multiplier of torque. Close ratio gearing lets us work both the torque and rpm side of this equation for big gains in HP and performance. Please upgrade for a much nicer experience. Unfortunately, it’s the complete opposite, being used in older cars to produce decent fuel economy and less engine noise once up at a cruising speed. This is experienced in the lower gears (normally up to third gear) which are used for acceleration before cruising gears are employed. Gear ratios are written as the input shaft speed against the output shaft’s constant of one, determining the differences in drive after the power has been sent through the transmission.Redesigning entire transmissions with more gears would be a much more expensive and time-consuming task, so the overdrive unit was born. When not in use, the overdrive allows direct drive to take place with the sun gear turning the ring gear. Once overdrive is enabled, the sun gear is fixed in place and the planetary gears are brought to life, rotating the ring gear. This means that if the planetary gears can rotate the ring gear 1.2 times compared to just one turn for direct drive, the output shaft will have turned 20 per cent further than usual. This will allow the engine to operate at a lower RPM for a given road speed while cruising. Although it could be used as a function for every forward gear, most systems are locked until either third or fourth gear is selected to avoid lugging the engine after each gear change. The additional gears have ratios higher than 1:1, creating the overdrive feature needed for cruising and motorway driving. This is then further enhanced by the latest crop of transmissions that feature 10 or 11 forward gears, all of which can combine to produce fairly nifty fuel consumption figures. Saying that, an overdrive unit certainly had its place back in the day and showed one of the first ventures towards creating reasonable fuel economy on a long cruise. Start here.

Reference Guide Parts illustration. Passon’s new overdrive kit fixes the rev mismatch, adds enough strength for a Hemi, and puts you in the fast lane Steve Dulcich writer May 5, 2016 Mopar muscle car owners have been dealing with the same dilemma for decades: solving the gear ratio paradox. If you actually drive your Mopar muscle you know exactly what we are referring to. Let's face it, these cars are about acceleration, and for that you need deep rear gears. All of that is well and good, until you take things into the context of street driving in the present era. Sure, those low gears will help a classic Mopar accelerate like a Navy jet off a catapult, but at speed it's like dragging the anchor. You'll soon find yourself in the slow lane at 60 mph, still revving well over three grand, getting passed by every soccer mom in a minivan. It is really kind of humiliating. What's changed is gear ratio. It doesn't take 600 hp from a stroked big-block to run the fast lane on the interstate; relaxed cruising is all about the gearing. That minivan might have a fraction of the power of your classic Mopar, but it also has overdrive via a four-, five-, six-, or even eight-speed transmission. You really don't need eight gears when you have V-8 torque, but what matters is the trans gearing from low to top. Having the extra ratio of overdrive to bring the revs down makes all the difference on the open road. When considering manual transmission vehicles, there are many options available to Mopar enthusiasts seeking overdrive gearing, each with their pros and cons. First on the list is the factory A-833 overdrive. This unit provides a healthy overdrive ratio and bolts in as a direct replacement, but it has some real drawbacks.
With the factory overdrive, you'll give up a good chunk of the A-833's legendary strength due to its floating countershaft, undercut mainshaft, and 23-spline input arrangement. In terms of gear ratio, the low 3.09:1 first, borrowed from the slant-six transmissions, creates too wide of a ratio jump from First to the 1.67:1 Second gear. That jump is a deal breaker for real performance as a 6,500-rpm shift will drop you back well below peak torque to 3,350 rpm. That shift nearly cuts engine rpm in half. Other options include add-on overdrives or conversions to non-original five- or six-speed transmissions. These conversions are great when pulled off correctly, but involve considerable modifications, are conspicuously non-original appearing, and are quite costly, making this route less than practical for many Mopar fans. Passon OD Gearset Jamie Passon of Passon Performance is a recognized expert in sales, service, and manufacturing of Mopar A-833 transmissions and components. Of the many new parts these guys manufacture is a unique overdrive gearset for the A-833. With four gears available from the A-833, Passon could see that Mopar missed the mark on the overdrive A-833's ratios. The deep six-cylinderspec, First gear ratio, and quite high overdrive ratio necessarily results in big, awkward ratio jumps between gears. The solution here was simple: take the four speeds but slice the salami up a little differently as far as ratio spreads, even up the gear splits, and tighten up the ratio range considerably between first and overdrive. The first thing that needed to go here was the 3.09:1 First gear ratio, in favor of a 2.66:1 ratio. This is basically what you would have with a factory non-overdrive muscle car version of the A-833. In First gear it is exactly like having a stock Hemi four-speed.
The Passon gearset fits in any A-833 transmission case as a retrofit, and gets you an overdrive transmission with no modifications other than a change in the 3 - 4 gearshift linkage rod, which is also provided by Passon. Unlike the factory overdrive transmission, which was never designed as a high-performance piece, Passon's internals retain all of the beef of the stoutest A-833. In fact, this gearset improves on the power-handling capacity of the A-833 transmission considerably, with better materials, wider and heavier-duty gears, and a high-strength 18-spine Hemi-style input pinion shaft. Building the Passon Performance retrofit Hemi Overdrive transmission is really not different than building any factory A-833. Since the retrofit gearset will usually be installed into a used core, now is the time to freshen the remaining parts of the transmission with the needed rebuild parts. Usually, the rebuild will include a gasket and seal kit, a small parts kit, the synchronizer stop rings, rear bushing, and bearings. Other typical wear parts include the shift forks, synchronizer clutch gears and sleeves, detent balls, and it is always a good idea to replace the countershaft if any wear is showing. What needs replacement here will depend upon your individual unit, and fortunately Passon can supply anything you may need for the A-833. Our transmission was a pretty nice, used E-Body unit, so it only required the gearset and basic rebuild parts. This small-block transmission originally came with the smaller No. 307 front bearing and small 3.454-inch bellhousing register on the bearing retainer. We intend to use this transmission in a big-block application with the large 4.805-inch register. Fortunately, Passon can supply bearing retainers for virtually any combination of bearing and pilot. For our trans they supplied an 18-spine No. 307 bearing retainer with the 4.805 register, a combination never offered as OEM.
As veterans of the A-833, we found the retrofit kit came together just like a stock rebuild. The Passon Hemi Overdrive kit comes with detailed step-by-step instructions that guide you through the process. See all 15 photos 1. Taking an A-833 manual transmission apart to this stage is nothing but wrenches and bolts. Remove the side cover first to clear the shift forks, then the extension and upper gear train comes out as an assembly; the front bearing retainer just unbolts. Factory overdrive transmissions require dropping the cluster gear in the case by removing the countershaft to allow the extension housing to be removed. See all 15 photos 2. The 3 - 4 synchro assembly and Third speed gear can slide right off the mainshaft once the front snap ring is removed. The mainshaft and 1 - 2 geartrain can be removed from the extension by expanding the bearing retaining ring at the front of the extension housing (308 bearing; compress retaining ring with 307 bearing). See all 15 photos 3. Once the mainshaft bearing is pressed off, the remaining First and Second speed gears and synchronizer assembly can be removed from the mainshaft. See all 15 photos 4. To remove the cluster gear, drive the countershaft rearward and out of the case using a long arbor or drift. See all 15 photos 5. On a trans with the No. 307 front bearing, the countershaft must be removed and the cluster gear dropped to the bottom of the case to allow the drive pinion assembly to be removed through the case. On No. 308 front bearing transmissions, the pinion can come out the front of the case. See all 15 photos 6. Here we have our conversion and rebuild parts from Passon. The Passon gears are made in the USA from improved materials, and feature wider gear faces for even more strength than OEM. Below is the cluster gear, with above from left to right, the First and Second speed gears, the overdrive gear, and the 18-spline pinion. See all 15 photos 9.
We blasted the rust from the exterior surfaces of the fully disassembled iron castings, then cleaned the parts spotless in a caustic bath, and finished the detailing with a metal resto finish from a spray can. See all 15 photos 10. All of the components we were re-using from the core transmission were thoroughly cleaned and inspected. In preparation for assembly, we pre-assembled the synchronizers, loaded the pinion roller bearing in the rear bore, pressed on the front bearing, and loaded the cluster gear with its roller bearings, spacers, and an arbor tool to hold it all in place for installation. The arbor tool should fit the countershaft bore with a slight clearance, be long enough to hang the thrust washers at both ends, and fit between the thrust surfaces inside the case without interference. Ours was made of appropriately sized 0.125-inch wall tubing. See all 15 photos 11. Assembly of the main case began with re-installing the Reverse gear train, and then carefully lowering the cluster gear assembly to the bottom of the case (make sure the thrust washer tangs engage the slots in the case). Next the input pinion is inserted, however, the bearing retainer is left off for now. See all 15 photos 12. The extension was reassembled starting with a new rear bushing and seal. The First and Second speed gears and synchronizer assembly were installed on the mainshaft, along with a new bearing, and then the loaded shaft was dropped into the extension housing and secured with the retaining ring. This is most easily accomplished with the extension held in a vertical working position. See all 15 photos 13. The front stop ring should be secured to the synchro assembly with grease to hold it in position while the extension is mated to the case. To gain clearance for installation, slide the pinion and front (3 - 4) synchro forward, and set reverse gear to mid-position.
With the gasket affixed to the extension, angle-in the extension housing assembly, engaging the roller bearings in the pinion bore. Move the front synchro back to neutral. With the extension loosely in place, clock it to expose the rear countershaft bore. Invert the trans case carefully to allow the cluster gear to mesh with the upper geartrain. Drive in the countershaft, making sure to clock it so that the woodruff key will align with the relief in the bore. Rotate the extension to its correct orientation, and bolt it down. My preference is to use grease as a sealer on both sides of the extension housing gasket. See all 15 photos 14. Once the extension is bolted up, the pinion can be secured with the bearing retainer. For protection against seepage, apply thread sealer to the bearing retainer bolts, and the front of the countershaft bore can be cleaned and knifed flush with silicone. See all 15 photos 15. The side cover and shift assembly finish the transmission. The forks must be loaded into the synchro clutch sleeves, and then the cover is lowered into place to engage them. With the brutal strength of a Hemi four-speed, pure stock looks and factory fit, and the extra-long legs of the overdrive ratio, the Passon Hemi overdrive has everything we want for our street-bound Mopar muscle car.

The tried and true 4-speed manuals and 3-speed automatics were the only thing we knew, and they worked well, so why would anyone want to change that. During the late 1970s and early 1980s we saw a push to create more economical cars that produced lower emissions. Thus the mainstream overdrive transmissions and pollution control systems were born into existence at the expense of horsepower.
