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.
The same principle can be used to create an overdrive gear that increases output speed while decreasing torque. Ad. A wind turbine is an example of a very large gearbox. The turbine moves at a slow rate of rotation with a great deal of torque.
