I might try shifting into neutral again.

There should be a way to disable overdrive. Either in the shifter pattern or a lockout button/switch that is on or near the shifter. If the shifter pattern is P R N (D) D L, then "D" is regular drive, without overdrive. If it goes (D) 3 2 1, then "3" is what you want.


Jandree22, my 20 year old car has fuel cut on decel, so I would hope his car of half that age would have that feature too.
