If you are city driving, and stopping at many lights. The tranny might be shifting into overdrive constantly for just a few seconds before you have to stop again, which would cause excessive wear on an expensive transmission. Personally, in this situation I would disengage the overdrive.
torkconveter lockup switch is faulty
could be a bad modulator valve but i would change filter and fluid in transmission first
That Is The Way Overdrive on your vehicle is designed to operate. Consider Yourself Lucky, You Are Not Overloading The Transmission By It Not Shifting Into Overdrive Until 45 MPH If It Shifted Into OD At A Lower Speed Say 25 to 30 MPH It Would Put Too Much Load On The Transmission That Most Likely It Would Fail Before Long.
Our 1993 Ford would not randomly (or so we thought) shift into overdrive. We eventually figured out this happened when the headlights / parking lights were on. We then traced it to a bad ground in the parking lights circuit. We fixed the ground and the shifting issue was fixed. No joke.
As with most overdrive-equipped vehicles, the most potential for damage is when the transmission is frequently shifting into, and out of, overdrive. This would most likely occur during some city driving, winding rural roads, or hilly areas with a lot of transitions from uphill to downhill, and visa-versa. Unless you notice it kicking into and out of overdrive often, it's probably not a problem to leave it on.
broken transmission mount there is a front left, rear left and a center mount
if you have overdrive in that car it means that your about to go into overdrive
Probably a blown fuse or bad relay.
that would be in the overflow reservoir follow the hose under the rad cap and you will see it
what would transmission not to shift in to overdrive
I believe, but don't quote me on this, that the hold button is just for holding the overdrive off for around town driving. You can still shift manually by going thru first, second, drive then pushing the hold button which would allow the overdrive gear to come on. In saying that i don't think overdrive works under 60kmh/35mph.
