For cars that have an automatic transmission, overdrive lockout turned 'off' (overdrive will engage), is the default option.
The overdrive will not engage on a 97 Mitsubishi Gallant if the switch has been turned off or the transmission is defective. Often time the bands will become worn and prevent it from shifting into certain gears.
OD means Overdrive. The light is on because you have disengaged the Overdrive. The button is on the shift lever on the side. Push that button to engage the overdrive.
Yes I just did that to mine, and it works great. No problems.
A Ford F-150's overdrive will not engage if the torque converter is not locking up or the bands are excessively worn. A full diagnostic at a local transmission shop or dealership is needed to properly diagnose the problem.
Overdrive is the normally allowed position in a Ford Explorer automatic transmission , once the vehicle speed is fast enough ( my Ford Explorer is 50 MPH ) the automatic transmission will automatically shift into overdrive
If engaging the overdrive and then after a few seconds it starts to flick on the dash board the likely problem will be that the overdrive is no longer working properly. Also, this could indicate a battery being dead.
If your 1997 Chevy diesel will not shift into overdrive, you might have an issue with a transmission sensor. Some of these vehicles have several sensors that must engage in order to shift.
Have the coolant temperature sensor checked, or replace it. (under the intake manifold)....The overdrive will not engage, unless the computer reads that the coolant temp. is at a certain level.
Yes, the only way to turn it off is to engage the manual shift on the auto stick.
Yes it`s on The Shift Knob below the engage button it clearly says O/D below it.use it at highway speeds though
mine was doing the same now it is doing it with when i shift to drive Probable internal trans failure.
