It could be a cloged tranmision filter. I had the same thing with 92 Stealth and changing the filter fix it. I had the same problem in my 94 lumina. Changing the filter didn't make a difference for me, but it did help a slight bit.
The Overdrive symbol on a Lumina looks like a capital D inside a circle. This shape is almost universal for most American made automobiles.
why does the 1991 Lincoln towncars transmission not have overdrive?Instead of going into overdrive it seems to go into neutral.But if you take it out of overdrive and leave it in drive it never goes into neutral while I'm driving.
the top gear, which will include overdrive. It will be the first selection after neutral.
The overdrive is before the drive because as you ordinarly drive down the road your car automaticaly goes into overdive when you reach a certain speed. You use drive only when you are pulling a trailer or going up a large hill so it won't go into overdrive and put undo work on the transmission or motor. It is also a gas saving factor.
Sounds like it may low on fluid and or you transmission need serviced
Overdrive is the normally allowed position ( it won't shift into overdrive until the speed is fast enough )

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!
In most cases drive with overdrive especially if maintaining over 45 mph. Take out of overdrive if on slippery pavement
Certainly. It's been done for years before overdrive became a thing... it just means you'll turn higher RPMs at speed, and you'll want to drive slower if you're conscious about fuel consumption. I had no problems when I took my 87 Silverado with a Muncie 465 direct drive transmission on the highway.
Overdrive use depends on speed, not weather. Can you drive at overdrive speeds, use overdrive. If you can't, don't. Often it's sensible to reduce speed in poor driving conditions.
yes we're here, we have arrived, get ready, to pump it into overdrive! go, go, go, yeah! drive, drive don't give in; pump it into overdrive; win!
