okay for your first question, all overdrive for a auto does is downshifts from D (4th gear) to 3rd if u need to catch some speed to while trying to pass a car or somthing like that. on a regular basis u would want it on for gas milage.

and second question, it sounds like you have an STX which is a st with all the gt options. I think you should talk to your insurence and prove to them that u don't have a gt.

This is incorrect. The overdrive acts as forth gear, it IS a forth gear. If you have the OD off, you won't get any further than 3rd gear. If you have the OD on, the automatic tranny will shift to 4th to save engine wear and tear while you're trying to rev up in third. This makes the third gear shift out very early. If you have OD off, you can take third all the way up, turn the OD on and then it'll shift into OD, or 4th.

I've even seen some ST's with a small gold GT badge on the rear hatch (apparently there were some "dealer installed" gold trim packages. kind of an underhanded way to make one look like a GT. find the VIN breakdown to tell for sure, also should definitely have rear disk brakes if it is a GT
