Can overdrive mess up transmission?

An overdrive gear can reduce engine wear and improve fuel economy, but only if it’s used under conditions of light torque demand. Too much torque demand during acceleration can cause the engine to bog or die. Too much torque demand during deceleration can damage the transmission and clutch.

Does overdrive affect response time?

Overdrive is meant to increase your display’s response time by a few milliseconds. This means that your usual TN panel display does not have a 1-millisecond response time by default. Instead, it has a 3-5-millisecond response time and then drops to 1 millisecond when you turn on overdrive.
