apparently im not talkin about the tC

im talkin about parent's other car

Turning off O/D on a 4-speed auto w/O/D is the same as sticking the tC in 3rd from D.

and how do you turn the overdrive off??

there is no button on our tc's is there???
i mean shifting into 3rd is easy but is there an overdrive button?

No there isn't and it's the same thing--the car will go no higher than third gear, that's all that putting it to 3 or turning off O/D will do.

It's not bad for the car to take long downhill grades with O/D off or in 3, so long as you put it back to 4 when the downgrade is over (I'm assuming you don't drive down something like Pike's Peak daily and have downhill grades lasting an hour long).
