To Overdrive or Not To Overdrive
I have and an automatic Tib(Bad Move) and I drive about 90% of the time with my overdrive off and I was wondering if this would cause any wear on the engine if I were to keep driveing with the it off opposed to having the overdrive on.

Your gas mileage will be worse, and you will be pulling higher RPMS that if overdrive were on, so Yes, you will be puting SLIGHTLY more wear on the engine and tranny.
