D with the square around it allows the car to shift into overdrive. Overdrive is 4th gear. It's simply a gear with a larger ratio than 1:1.Matt

!!!!DOUBLE POST!!!!lol no, its actually better to use for everyday driving, it kinda acts like a 5th gear so its more gas efficient and helps keep RPMs low= longer lasting transmission [img]smile.gif[/img]2000 Navy Blue T-top Camaro A4<br />TSP Rumbler <br />Carsound Hi-flo Cat<br />!MAF screen<br />Whisper lid<br />HPP3Comment

A quick read of the relevant section of the owners manual would have given you the answer. The owners manual is worth a read.I'm really confused wich one is the over drive the D with a little square or the D.
And what is it for?
According, to it you should drive in the D with the square around (as mentioned above allows the car to shift into overdrive when it can.) The other D is for high load situations such as towing.SLP CAI, K&N, Whisper Lid, 180* thermo, manual fan switch, 3.42 gears, Auburn Pro LSD, Wester\'s PCM Tuning, TSP Rumbler, High Flow Cat.

Overdrive is 4th gear. It's nothing magical that kicks in and lowers rpms (ie, TC locking up), it just shifts gears. Cruising in 3rd gear in an M5 and want lower RPMs? Shift to 4th. Same thing. It's called overdrive because the gear ratio is taller than 1:1.Matt

That does nothing for you. Your car won't shift into OD when it doesn't need it.i race in my normal drive, not the od, but i'm sure ya'll already know to do that rite??
You will find your time is the same whether you are in D or D with a square.SLP CAI, K&N, Whisper Lid, 180* thermo, manual fan switch, 3.42 gears, Auburn Pro LSD, Wester\'s PCM Tuning, TSP Rumbler, High Flow Cat. Best Time: 9.909@71.58 (1/8 mile)Comment
