overdrive is 5th gear for automatics .... supposed to be activated at highway or cruising speeds to improve gas mileage ....

i thought it was when you mash it down the car will downshift...but then that doesn't make sense for a manual now does it
that's the passing gear ... it doesn't make sense for a manual tranny to have overdrive ... could be a typo ... maybe it meant manual overdrive as opposed to manual transmission with overdrive?
