What would make a 94 Aerostar with the 4.0 only shift into overdrive at 45?

you probably have a button or switch to turn overdrive on and off, it may be on the end of your shift lever, you probably want to keep the overdrive on, save you some gas, hope i helped

Overdrive means the wheels are turning faster than the engine so gas is saved, (5th gear would be overdrive) however if you want to accelerate quickly you will have to shift into a lower gear which would make the engine turn faster than the wheels.

If it has overdrive use it! it is a "highway gear" it will make no difference what so ever until you get up to speed then it will shift into overdrive and save you gas!

bad filter and fluid,bad front pump,or the overdrive is going out common problem when using overdrive in the city limits meant for the highway start and always stoping not good to be in overdrive cant stress enough here at the house until she spent $3770.00 dollars dont have to tell her anymore

The only reason not to leave it in overdrive would be if you are towing and going uphill. The car's computer will tell the transmission when to shift safely, but when under a very heavy load it may shift a lot. I usually only take overdrive off when I am towing going up hills where the grade changes frequently. If you are unsure, then it is better to keep it in overdrive all of the…

Sounds like an overdrive problem. The transmission is kicking in and out of overdrive causing it to overwork and get too hot. turn the overdrive off and try it.

You will have to get a new intake manifold that will fit a 350 with vortec heads. For the tranny to shift correctly including going into overdrive there is a vacuum kit you can get, but it will only work on some overdrive trannys. A company like Summit should be able to help you with the correct answers. If you can not get a kit for your tranny then you could always locate a 700R…

it depends on where you are driving. If you are just driving around town, you should probably turn the overdrive off, because it will cause the engine to run at very low revolutions per minute, which is not good for it. If you are driving on the freeway, then you should have the overdrive on, because it will save you fuel. However, if you are in hilly terrain, turn the overdrive off, so that the…

The Montana not shifting into overdrive could be caused by several things. First, check the computer codes for any possible problems. Make sure that the transmission fluid is full and does not look or smell burnt. If the vehicle has high mileage, the transmission filter could need changing.

i think it would because it would make the gear shift better and lube them and help it

When I was a nursing assistant, there would be shift differentials. I'm not sure if it's the same thing as wage differentials. But basically it was a small increase in your hourly wage if you worked a different shift. For example, the nursing home had a .40 differential for second shift and a .30 differential for third shift. So a person who makes 10 dollars an hour, would make 10.40 an hour while working a…

The year, make and model info would help.

yes he/she can make you work any shift needed unless its in writing and even if its a union shop you would still have to until off probation etc... and able to join but still it would go based on senority

With the minimum shift which is two hours, regular McDonald's workers would make about $15.32 a day, while with the maximum shift which is 12 hours, McDonald's workers would make about $91.92 a day.

I had this same problem on my 1994 Aerostar automatic column shift shifter. Turned out that if you look for the shifter link underneath the dashboard (on the driver's side) there are two torx screws (mine are kinda gold-colored). Mine had worked quite loose, one had even fallen out on the floor earlier that morning. I really thought the transmission was shot, and was praying I could get home from Idaho in the dead of…

I called my dad who is a mechanic. When I mentioned that the truck had a body lift, he told me to run a ground to the body form the battery, and HOLY COW-it worked. The transmission shifts right all the time now, it also made the interior lights, dash, and headlights so much brighter. Use a light tester to make sure the overdrive shift is getting power as well.

I just took my 97 in to have the switch fixed. Not only was the switch not the problem but is worst now. The overdrive will not shut off and the ford dealer charged me 800 dollars to break the overdrive. Make sure you have a switch problem. I could not find much information in my manual which is why I took it to the dealer who then shafted me.

no no no...it means that you have overdrive on!!! all it does is make the gears shift a little later so you have more acceleration like when climbing a mountain It means your overdrive gear is off on your tran. You have an automatic transmission, yes? When you drive at speeds higher than 45 MPH, your transmission will automatically shift to a higher gear to reduce engine RPM and increaase MPG. When overdrive is off…

The problem is that you have engaged overdrive to early or the transmission govenor springs have weakened and is engageing it to early. if you shift indacator has 2 d's on it, put it in the one without the circle around it. if it has 123D then have it in 3 if your not goin over 50 for most of the time. only engage overdrive if your going to be driving over 50 for most…

keep the overdrive shaft button pressed, there is a panel light called "O/D" that should light indicating the overdrive is OFF. In that case make sure the light is OFF which means overdrive is ON.

ok this sounds like a tranny cable wire - on your throttle body their is a plastic piece that holds the cable on the throttle that probably fell out -put a metal clip to hold the wire and if you can make sure the wire is set right to shift the tranny DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR YOU WILL FRY THE TRANSMISSION! This happened to my car and I lost my overdrive gear and the…

2 small wires coming from the OD switch in the shift lever rub the column at the base of the shift lever. Take column cover off and you will find at least 1 wire with a small rub area. Make sure you tape it up and then replace the fuze(if burned out). This will solve the problem.

Overdrive lets the engine run slower at highway speeds. This saves on gas.

Leaky transmission lines would cause the fluid level to drop and eventually cause the transmission not to shift and go.

it wont make it any faster but it will make it shift harder. if its an automatic it you will really be able to feel the shift. all it does is make it shift faster. this actually causes less wear to the transmission.

If working a 8 hour shift 5 days a week, it would be $24,192.

If you can handle a 3rd shift job you will make more per hour than you would working any of the other shifts. The 3rd shift jobs are available in every sector of the workforce.

There is an electrical cable consisting of 3 wires on the 1992 A4LD. Check to make sure all 3 of these wires are intact, and working. My gray one was snipped on my 1992 A4LD, and after reconnecting it, it worked fine.

first you need to change your transmission filter and oil(make sur oil is before changing) when oil get gets real dirty it let your tranny solenoid dont work properly. warning! when you change your oil you need need to jack both wheels up off the ground , put car in drive and make sure tranny is going into overdrive, some times it takes awhile before solenoid lubricated and start working properly

the overdrive is used to save gas. it is an additional gear after your final gear in the transmission. this gear usually kicks in at higher speeds (maybe 50+). you will notice the tach drop down about 500 rpm's as the vehicle kicks into overdrive. it does not make your car go faster or slower. you will not have be able to accelerate as fast in overdrive as you will in other gears. if it…

i have that problem to it has something to do with the gear shift censor

Your u-joints are worn out.

No, but why would you?

Shift + ., Shift + ;. Shift + 9 = >:(

Makeshift is a compound word made up of make and shift.

Brackets. To open the you press SHIFT+9 (hold shift down). This will make this : ( To close the brackets, it's SHIFT+0 (hold shift down). This will make : )

The transmission may shift hard due to it beginning to fail. However, it may also be due to low transmission fluid.

For most it was feared that it would shift the political balance between the parties.

Pilgrims would typically sleep on the floor on their journey on the boat. Some would sleep in make-shift beds that they created.

No, just the opposite. Overdrive is an extra gear, the use of which, make the vehicle more economical.

There would be a shift in supply if: 1. The price of the inputs were to increase/decrease. 2. A new technology was invented that made the production process fast - would shift supply up. 3. If new capital was gained, like forests being cleared to make was for farming - would shift supply up. 4. A change in the expected prices would increase/decrease supply. 5. An improvement in weather will increase the productivity of the…

you press shift button and if you wanted to make an smiley face you would press shift and the button on the right next to L and then you press 0 and the same for UN happy face but just push 9 instead of 0

The year, make and model vehicle would help but in some vehicles the shift cable runs under the drivers side carpet and gets damaged from constant moisture resulting in a sticky, binding shift lever.

Clutch needs adjusting Syncronizers (burned) Throw out bearing

yes you can all you need to do is change the tail shaft cover between the two transmissions

You can press the shift key on either side of the keyboard and then lets say you want to make a $ sign so then you would hold down on one of the shift keys and then you would press the number 4 on the keyboard but you have to hold both down at the same time

is it a stick shift? mine is a stick shift and it got alot quieter after i changed the transmission fluid... google it.

first you must remove the transmission from the van then you gentely remove the tourque conerter from the front of the transmission and the seal is located where the shaft the tourque was on enters the transmission remove the old one and reinsert the new one, oil or grease the tail shaft on the tourque so when you reinstall it you wont damage the new seal gentely reinsert the tourque converter turning it slightly make…

The transmission is on its way out.You could drive the vehicle with the overdrive function turned off to buy some time.

1st shift in NJ makes $10.20 an hour. 2nd Shift makes 10% more, and 3rd Shift makes 15% more. I work 2nd shift and make 11.22$ an Hour.
