My car didn't come with a Users Manual but the Corolla's user manual says to turn O/D off when passing. If you turn it off and stomp on the gas around 40 mph it gets rid of that big dead spot in the powerband. I turn it off all the time on the Highway, going faster than 60. Your RPM's jump and you speed up without even giving more gas. It's also much better to turn it off when climbing hills.
