HighlanderGeneral discussion forum for the Toyota Highlander and Highlander Hybrid.
This is a discussion thread titled "How do u remove the shift knob on an auto?", within the Highlander forum, part of the SUV Forums category.
Im thinking about changing to a custom shift knob in my automatic highlander , it has a center consol between the front seats if that matters. How do i remove the knob?

On my Highlander that would require a very unique customer shifter knob because of the overdrive button that is located on the left side of the knob. It would require a knob specific this model of vehicle. Do custom knobs for Highlanders exist?
OBX Tomcat is truly a state of the art advanced space age technology design. Inspired by the most technological jet fighters and space shuttle throttle handle design. These shift knobs are equipped with and Overdrive butoon, which is required by most car manufactures. Suitable for most cars with O/D transmissions. Thses shift knobs are one of the best high performance design and quality in the racing sport industry.

To change the shifter handle is alot more complex than you might think. Here are the toyota instructions, on how to remove the handle. The wires on the O/D switch are very long and go down inside the shift mechanism.
Good Luck.

A gearing mechanism (transmission)of a motor vehicle that reduces the power output required to maintain driving speed in a specific range by lowering the gear ratio.

i believe its always on unless u press the overdrive button and the light on the dashboard says o/d off. So what happens to the performance of the car when the o/d is turned off ?

In precise technical terms, overdrive means the input shaft on a transmission is spinning slower than the output shaft. Or said another way, the gear ratio is less than 1:1... for example, 0.93:1. In most 5 speed manual transmissions, 5th gear is "overdrive". In some 6 speeds, 5 & 6 are "overdrives".
On automatics, "O/D Off" simply means that the transmission controller will not let the torque converter go into full lockup in the highest numbered gear. In some cars it may prevent lockup in the two highest gears (e.g., 4 & 5 on a 5 speed automatic).
See How Stuff Works for their description of automatic overdrive transmissions. How Stuff Works is a really great site with all sorts of neat info -- my favorite is the 1001 horsepower Bugatti Veyron.
Enjoy.
