you'll have to explain what you are calling 'OD'. My 08 SL AWD has no such OD switch - as traditional automatics generally do. If you mean leaving the tranny in auto mode (right side of the the shifter gate) I turn just short of 2000 rpm at 60 but does turn 2500 when the shifter is pushed left into the 'manual' mode - when it shows 6th gear on the dash indicator. Effectively the CVT seems to have a '7th' gear when left in auto mode. Is this what you are calling overdrive?? The CVT does not have gears (or FTM overdrive) in a traditional sense TBMK - only computer selections based on how you are driving the car. If you are turning 4 grand at 60, it would seem to me that your tranny gear indicator shold be reading 5th (or even 4th) when it does?

Replying to: lonfrank (Dec 04, 2008 11:48 am) tranny or trannie I don't believe you find either in Webster's. OD can certainly have other meanings - but then I don't understand the point of your post. My Rogue has no 'OD on/off' button, my question was what exactly are you calling overdrive on the CVT equipped Rogue??

Replying to: captain2 (Dec 04, 2008 9:13 am) The base model SL does not have paddle shifters, or a gated shifter. It does have drive and low on the shifter and does have an O/D button on the handle.

Replying to: lonfrank (Dec 02, 2008 6:28 pm) Use the overdrive off mode when you need improved engine braking. Nissan Owners Manual page 5-15

Replying to: mlmcgahee (Dec 05, 2008 3:55 am) OK that's fine - mine a loaded SL AWD, which does have the paddles (that I find no reason to use) as well as the +/- gated shifter - but nothing specific for OD, which was my question for the originator of this thread. Doubling engines revs though would seem to be 'way over the top' though , since gear 'selections' on the CVT are electronic, it would seem logical that all Rogues so equipped would do the same thing?

Replying to: captain2 (Dec 05, 2008 2:39 pm) I understand... I have the base model SL FWD like the original poster. There is no reason to turn off the O/D or put the shifter in low unless your are stuck in mud or snow IMHO.
#9 of 13 what are the paddles for by rivvy Jan 17, 2009 (6:16 pm)
Having not bought a vehicle in 15 yrs i have no idea what a lot of the stuff on the rogue is for especially the paddles, i now drive a 94 jeep and am looking at the rogue to replace it..i've figured out the cvt but not much else, and also have a worry about the visibility on the rogue through the rear window..thanks
#10 of 13 rouge/cvt/paddles/rearwindown by lonfrank Jan 19, 2009 (9:51 am)
great car!!!! bought in april, has 20,000. cvt is great. paddles are useless(but we don't have 'em). paddles are for race cars & standard trans. rear vision could be a problem but has not been. we take special care changing lanes or turning right. get 26-27 around town & 30mpg on interstate. goodluck, lonfrank Replies to this message: kcab (Mar 03, 2009 2:56 pm)
