Normally the OD only kicks on at high speed. It is like having an extra gear for highway driving. That said: My sister's 99? 200sx operates like yours. It shifts a lot stiffer when the overdrive is off. It is almost like having a shift kit in the thing. I only turn it on for highway driving anyway and when climbing a steep hill I turn it off because it is a gutless piece of crap and keeps shifting up and down between 3rd and OD.

Don't know if that helps you any.
