Transmission Fluid is getting old, clutch packs are worn. -How long since you changed transmission fluids totally. It's generally recommended at least every 50,000 for this vehicle. -If you haven't ever done it, be prepared for a complete re-build.

How does overdrive work?

Overdrive is the name given to the highest possible gear available in a transmission. Of all possible gears, this high gear gets the RPM (revolutions per minute) of the wheels closest to the RPM of the transmission. This is typically used for highway travel at high speeds and has the highest mpg for the vehicle. In high gears at high speed, the engine has good power available to propel the vehicle. But at lower speeds, in high gear, the engine power available to propel the car diminishes. This leads to the O/D overdrive button in some vehicles. This mode is typically used when towing or driving in hilly or mountainous areas. Since the power diminishes as lower speeds, in high gear, the transmission needs to compensate when driving under these two conditions. The trans will try to match the best gear with power available at various engine speeds and vehicle speeds. Sometimes, this may mean switching to a lower gear with higher engine RPMs. This allows more power to be available to climb hills or tow loads up an incline without the driver being forced to shift to lower gear manually (gears 2, or 1 in automatics, or shifting down to 4th, or 3rd gear in standards).

At what speeds should a 4 speed automatic transmission change gears -- 0 to 25 is 1st - 25 to 45 is 2nd - 45 to xxx is 3d - I dont think it's ever gone into 4th - but I dont know past 75 - is this OK?

This will be determined by the type of vehicle you have and the gear ratio that is installed, I assume you DO NOT have A tachometer, It can be difficult to tell, but I will tell you what I do, first check for a button to dissable the overdrive, it will likely be on the gear selector, On collumn shifts, its usually on the end of the lever, On console shifts its usually on the front where your finger tips are, also could be on the side or back, There will be A light to say when its activated, it will be by the button or on the instrument cluster, If The car has A selector space for 4 foreward gears it will not have A override button, This will look like this,,,,(1 or L----2---3---the last will be a D with A circle around it), go to A highway that has about 1/4 to 1/2 mile that you can use to test drive this car, Put the car in the lowest gear you can, if it has A overdrive button, turn off the overdrive, drive normally when the engine gets to the point that it should shift, Allow it to shift into second gear, you should feel/hear the engine slow and the trans shift at the same time, then when it gets fast enough to shift again, go to third, It should do the same as second, Then when you get up some more speed go to fourth, The overdrive will be very much softer and more difficult to notice than the other gears, But it will be enough to tell if it is working or not, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,According to the numbers you listed, It would likely shift into overdrive at about 50 to 65mph.,,,,,,,,,,,NOTE--- MOST CARS WILL NOT
