word. so many people think overdrive is when the car speeds up, but it’s really just downshifting.

100% incorrect, OD is an upshift. The only time you feel a downshift in an auto is when you depress the throttle enough to hit the kickdown, whether it be electronic or mechanical, and that is what tells the transmission to downshift.
