The technical meaning is that the drive shaft out of the transmission spins faster than the input shaft (the rpm of the engine into the transmission).Originally Posted by Davidk
In the F6B it is due to the gear ratios in the transmission(on older manual shift cages it was a gear box added to the back of the trans).
Typically only the highest gear is an overdrive gear, but this does not strictly have to be the case. For example, the F6B which has a five speed trans the 4th and 5th are technically overdrive gears with the output/drive shaft turning faster than the engine's RPM.
Primary Reduction (from engine to transmission) 1.591 (78/49)
Gear Ratios in transmission
1 2.375 (38/16)
2 1.454 (32/22)
3 1.068 (31/29)
4 0.843 (27/32) technically overdrive
5 0.686 (24/35) technically overdrive
Final drive ratio is 2.750 (33/12)
