as in who built the first vehicle with an overdrive gear? I think you need to be more specific.

I've seen ebay auctions for old over drive units from the 60's. I think they were called J-drives or something.

The first automatic overdrive was Ford's AOD, introduced in 1980.

Just to clear up my late night post, it is B&J Overdrive from 60's sport cars.
