Thread starter roryedits Start date Oct 3, I've looked pretty hard for something pertaining to the 6th gens and OD but can't seem to find any info on it.
Essentially wondering if there's anyway for us to manually turn on and off the overdrive feature on the 6R80s. My buddy has a Porsche Cayman S and were matched evenly when we do say a 40 roll race. Put the trans in sport mode and shift it yourself? Cobra Jet Well-Known Member. Cobra Jet said:. Now place the spacer in between the two lines. We have determined the spacer should be one inch from the edge of the rectangular opening, up against but not on the oval casting mark.
Mark the holes and drill. If you want to double-check our measurements before drilling, you can tape the fulcrum and spacer in place and attach the clutch fork. Then mount the bellhousing on your T5 and check that the clutch fork can pivot without rubbing the input shaft or the rectangular opening. Mount the fulcrum on top of the spacer and bolt it in place. Note, the spacer kit we obtained from CJ Pony parts came with countersunk Allen bolts.
If you mounted the spacer in the correct spot, the hex heads will not interfere with the transmission case. Finally, you will need to hack off the tab on the bellhousing directly in line with the clutch fork opening. This tab is used to mount the clutch cable and will interfere with the lower pushrod for the manual clutch.

Related posts. Under 55mph ya tranny is not creating enough line pressure to completely lock the OD band and is constantly slipping wearing away break material kinda like riding the clutch and over time does take years off the tranny's life.
Although some improvements on the AODE as a larger band and more pressure the same is true just not as much. That's a good point you bring up there Mr. A little input from Grandpa. We use to caution any time your tranny started frequent up and down shifts tranny temps started racing. Long term results--shortened tranny life.
Best to pull back to drive when this occurs. Overdrive was developed as a way to keep the engine operating at a sensible RPM. This was put into place instead of adding separate cruising gears to the transmission. This two-gear overdrive system has become popular and is used on many different cars. This gear offers an option to everyone for efficient cruising at higher speeds. It was a great option to add to cars instead of adding more gears than there already was.
An overdrive system is an electrically operated gear train bolted behind the transmission unit. There are a few ways this can be incorporated into the car. One way is that it can couple the input drive shaft directly to the output shaft.
Another way is to increase the output speed so that it will turn quicker than the input shaft. This means that the output shaft could be overdriven compared to the input shaft. Additionally, in newer transmissions, the overdrive speeds are a result of different combinations of gear sets. These gears are integrated into the transmission. If you drive an older car, this overdrive option might be a button that is incorporated into the gear shift knob.
This process does not require the clutch. In the newer cars, there is an electronic overdrive so a computer will automatically adjust when it needs to be turned on depending on the speed you are driving and the consistency of the speed. If you are driving at high speeds then you will want to use overdrive.
Because of the nature of this gear, it should be used when you are traveling at higher speeds. Think about how many highways there are inside of cities. This is good so that you have plenty of opportunities to test your overdrive function. For that to happen you must be driving at faster speeds. This function was not created for driving in lower speed areas. Have you ever used overdrive in a city? Think about this situation. You are driving in heavy traffic for a long drive at speeds that vary from 20 to 20 mph.
You will want to turn off your overdrive in this case. You can use the gears for acceleration at this time.
You should turn on overdrive to save fuel and make your drive more efficient. The movement of driving will become more comfortable and your transmission will respond better to the work of the gas pedal.
