WTK: Using overdrive to gear-down

Okay, I want to know if at speeds of say above 100Km/hr I turn off the overdrive switch and let the tranny gear down while releasing the gas pedal is wise? Is this ok to do or will it eventually damage the tranny? Vehicle is a B13

No it will not, it may feel or sound harsh to the tranny but it will not affect the tranny. My father has a b14 for like 6 yrs now and we does take off the O/D button to geardown at times, and the car going good still. Remember too that automatic transmissions can take alot more jammin' than a gear box.

^^^mine can
in the stock form, HELL NO, an auto will never be able to take more jamming than a manual
gearing down using the OD is no probs, for longevity sake, don't do it all the time
