My 1984 corvette transmission is not shifting into overdrive. It shifts first thru third fine.
If your transmission is not shifting into third gear and overdrive it could be a parking pawl. This prevents the transmission from rotating.
If a 1988 Mercury Grand Marquis shifting out of second gear gets choppy after acceleration then the overdrive band may need servicing. An overdrive band that is sticking can also cause this problem.
its broke
overdrive wont let you shift into foruth? its made to not let you
Overdrive ON is the normal position But if you are towing something or driving in hilly country where the transmission is constantly shifting from overdrive to drive , then you want to switch the overdrive off
there is a 10 amp fuse marked console in the fuse box that actually provides power to the overdrive cut of swicth and overdrive relay
When the overdrive off light is blinking that means a malfunction has been detected
its not if you have overdrive its shifting into it it feels like its down shifting but it really isnt.
On the Nissan 240SX the electric overdrive switch is located on the right side of the transmission. Overdrive allows shifting into the auto's fourth gear.
