overdrive

Hi all Can someone please help me understand the difference between the O/D button and the PWR button? I see online they both increase the revs before shifting gears. Why have the two options? Is the PWR just more responsive? Thanks

On my automatic Landcruiser and other automatic transmission cars, I usually drive with OD on (meaning OD OFF light not showing). Reason is that I do not encounter extremely steep hills. The car simply moves effortlessly up and down hills. I do the above based on my understanding of overdrive...

I had to have my heater core cleaned out because it was clogged. After everything was all put back together my overdrive light is flashing. When I turn overdrive off it doesn't flash. From my understanding that's the shift solenoids but I replaced them in 2022 and had the transmission rebuilt...

Have any of you guys taken apart the O/D switch on the shifter handle? Am I missing any pieces? My O/D button fails to stay latched when pressed causing my O/D OFF light to be on all the time.

Hi everyone, I've been doing extensive research on how to tow with the LX470, and have read a number of accounts to TURN OFF overdrive while towing, even on the highway. But I can't find the button to press for the life of me... Could someone please kindly help. Or is it not available on the...

Hi everyone - I'm trying to rectify some of the terrible deeds that were done to the wiring of my 62 by some previous owner. When I pulled the O/D switch, I found that none of the wires were attached to anything (strangely, the O/D still seems to kick in at around 50 mph). I have looked at...
