t-5 tranny's umm some love them and some really hate them. The overdrive question is easy to answer-- it is a 5-speed so the first 4 gears pull and the 5th will help out gas milage on the freeway. The overdrive drops your rpm's when cruzin but when you step on the gas in 5th it will pick up very slowly on some cars-- the cars that will fly when u step on it in 5th have lots of power ie. cobra's or anthing that is basically s/c or turboed! I would say go with a t-56 tranny it is a 6- speed and it will run u 2200 new and u can find them used for about 1500. have fun and power is addictive!
