There are many possible meanings to the word overdrive. Many people use the word overdrive to mean going beyond normal.

As far as automotive terms go, overdrive simply means that the transmission output shaft spins at a faster rate than the input shaft. So, for example, if a transmission had a .70 overdrive ratio, then the transmission output would spin one full turn for every .70 turns of the input shaft.
