I have no clue what exactly you are asking? Are you talking about 5th gear??? I hit it all the time if thats what you meanandrw said:is there such thing on our stangs? i think i hit it once, cant get it again, whats the secret, stang-sages?

When you stomp on the accelerator in an automatic the transmission downshifts into a LOWER gear. So if you are in OD(4 gear) in an auto and you stomp on the gas, depending on what speed you are going,the transmission downshifts into 2 or 3 gear. If you want to acomplish the same thing in a manual transmission car you would down shift from the higher gear into a lower gear , once again depending on speed , to accelerate faster. If you were to shift from 3rd to 5th at 30 mph and hit the gas the car would just bog and probably buck a little.andrw said:like on an automatic, in 4-5 gear, if you mash on the gas it will rev and hit another, higher gear, to get you up to speed faster.
so by saying that fifth is overdrive, if i was in, say...third. and was looking to takeoff from maybe 30 in the fastest way possible, would i shift into fifth?

Now to give you an understanding on how a tranmission works the best example is a ten speed bicycle. Your legs are the engine, The front sprocket is the transmission and the rear sprocket is the rearend. If you need to get up to speed quick you put the chain on the smallest sprocket(lower gear) first. Then as you are riding you change to the larger sprockets(higher gears) to get more speed. While you are riding if you need to get up a hill or accelerate you would downshift into a lower gear or smaller sprocket which allows to to spin your legs faster to help apply more torque. Now to complicate things if you take a rider you has greater leg strength( more torque) he could use a higher gear to accomplish the same thing with less rpm as a weaker rider in a lower gear. This is why a V8 car can use a higher gear ratio transmission then a 4 cyl.
Originally I was going to just put this guy upbut I realized you really needed help in this area.
andrw said:then i think there may be something wrong with my stang. when i floor it, itll do that little click like it was going into overdrive (on an auto). im wondering if perhaps my bald tires are slipping? is that possible?
andrw said:usually third, but it happened to me in fifth today. usually either 40-45 or 65-70
