The transmition is bad it happened to me its the overdrive selinoid
also valve body problem possible, solenoid is on valvebody.
On a 1998 Ford Taurus ; On the column shift the overdrive button is on the end of the gear shift lever On the console shift the overdrive button is on the drivers side of the gear selector lever below the button you have to press to shift out of PARK
no
Because it does not have an overdrive gear.
Overdrive is the normally allowed position ( it won't shift into overdrive until the speed is fast enough )
Linkage adjust
On a 1998 Ford Explorer, Overdrive Band Failed Off means that the vehicle did not shift into Overdrive properly. The band for this gear should be serviced soon.
its the tps
there is a button on the end of th gear shift that you simply push in..
Could be low fluid,a bad sensor or transmission going bad.
Overdrive - 1998 is rated/received certificates of: Germany:16 USA:R
On a 1998 Ford Crown Victoria : Overdrive is the normally allowed position , although the transmission will not shift into overdrive until the speed is higher If the overdrive is switched off , on the gauge cluster just to the right / and above the speedometer you will see the O/D OFF warning light ( if you have the digital dash it will show overdrive off in the upper right )
Probable slipping torque converter.
