High gear (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

overdrive

'high gear' is the definition.
(overdrive is a kind of high gear)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for overdrive that I've seen before include "Furious activity" , "State of frantic activity" , "High gear; excessive activity" , "Engine mechanism" , "It gets you going fast" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
