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.
A hydrostatic transmission works through the use of a pump connected to a mover that drives a hydraulic motor. The motor, powered through the generation of flow, is connected to the load. This can be used to transmit power from the primary mover to the load itself. However, many types of hydrostatic transmissions also use variable distance pumps or motors. This allows for the regulation of torque and power.
