Generally speaking, overdrive is the highest gear in the transmission. Overdrive allows the engine to operate at a lower RPM for a given road speed. This allows the vehicle to achieve better fuel efficiency, and often quieter operation on the highway.
In this kind of transmission, a shaft is attached to the torque converter housing where the housing is fixed to the enginefs flywheel. The shaft is then connected by the clutch to the planet carrier. The bigger sun gear is held in place by the overdrive band as the smaller sun gear freewheels.
