you might want to change your transmission filter to see if that stops the problem----------whoever changes filter have them check the fluid in pan of transmission to see if its gritty if it is or smells burnt if so your clutches might be slipping hoped this helps

I really don't think changing the filter is your problem or you would have no shifting if the filter was clogged, your problem is more the tv cable (throttle valve cable) is out of adjustment, this cable controls the speeds the transmission shifts at. your overdrive is probably working but because the cable

is out of adjustment it causes it to shift a lot later take your car or truck to a tranny shop not a mechanic ask him to adjust the tv linkage then drive the car see if it's better more time then not it's that cable ...good luck to you ...

I have a 1997 ford e 350 van with automatic transmission when the transmission shifts form 3rd gear to overdrive at about 50-55 mph it falters and bucks and I have to let off on the gas so it can pick-up speed, when I have overdrive off and put on overdrive when 3rd gear shifts to overdrive at 50-55 mph it shifts smoother but if I give too much gas again it bucks and falters till I let off gas so it can retain speed slowly.

Do you need overdrive at city driving?

Overdrive is the normally allowed position , but unless you are going fast enough it will not shift into overdrive because it acts as the " top " gear ( on my Explorer I have to be going 50 miles per hour / 80 kilometers per hour before it shifts into overdrive )


What is the reason the overdrive light blinks and why does it feel like it down shifts when it goes on?

The overdrive light blinks when the computer senses a transmission problem. (IE. Torque Converter failure) The reason it feels like it downshifts is due to the computer putting the transmission into a fail-safe mode to reduce further transmission damage.
