What speed does your overdrive (4th gear) kick in?

As the title says!

depends if in power or economy. bout 60 in econ and 70 in power, but not sure, ive had an aftermarket chip in mine for a while now. wont let the g/box go in 4th till 80. (which is good!)

If you're going over 40km/h and let go of throttle to just cruise Overdrive will engage(and you'll be reving around 1000 rpm unless Power mode is turned on in which case it always stays in 3rd and changes the ratios a bit.

yea depends if how much throttle really.

Depends where I have the boot too...

well under full exceleration at top speeds it changes at about 180km/ph something like that lol

Factory setting for the upshift from 3rd to 4th in the VR V6 is 48km/h in economy mode and 84km/h in power mode on a closed throttle. Otherwise with wide open throttle it can change into overdrive as late as 205km/h (which must be close to top speed). VR V8 are slightly different with 42km/h and 72km/h on closed throttle and 185km/h with WOT.

Yeah this seems too early to me, mine will do this too, if you had a manual you wouldn't put it in 5th at 40 kph!

Yees but manual and auto boxes are different something to do with compression or something

I was under the impression that 4th gear in an auto is Top gear and not overdrive.Like 4th gear in a 5 speed manual or 5th gear in the V6 6 speed.
