If your transmission is not shifting into third gear and overdrive it could be a parking pawl. This prevents the transmission from rotating.
The shift solenoids are on the valve body inside the transmission. They are one of many things that can prevent the shift into overdrive.The shift solenoids are on the valve body inside the transmission. They are one of many things that can prevent the shift into overdrive.
If your Eagle Talon isn't shifting into overdrive, it could be due to several factors, including low transmission fluid levels, a faulty transmission control module, or issues with the shift solenoids. Mechanical problems such as worn clutches or bands can also prevent the transmission from engaging overdrive. Additionally, electrical issues or a malfunctioning throttle position sensor may hinder the shift. It's best to have a professional diagnose the problem for an accurate assessment.
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.
Normally the O/D OFF light is not lit up , this allows the transmission to shift into overdrive ( the 4th gear of the automatic transmission if the vehicle speed is fast enough such as on a highway / freeway ) If you want the transmission to only use the first 3 gears and prevent shifting back and forth between overdrive and drive such as on hilly terrain select the Overdrive / Off ( O/D OFF ) position
No, bad front wheel bearings would not prevent a transmission from shifting. If your car has bad front wheel bearings you will notice wheel noise or wheel looseness.
For most drivers, Overdrive should be used full time. Its designed to reduce the amount of effort the engine needs to maintain speed. Whenever a lot of shifting is taking place, its recommended to only used Drive. Roads with a lot of hills, curves, or heavy traffic areas should not use overdrive to prevent damage to the transmission. Also, disengage overdrive whenever towing. There is not enough torque generated by the engine to tow while in overdrive. Towing while overdrive is engaged can cause damage to the engine and transmission.
A transmission shift lock prevents someone from shifting out of park unless the brake pedal is depressed.

In simple terms, overdrive is the final/cruising gear. It reduces the power output by lowering the gear ratio. The overdrive mechanism increases fuel efficiency, and saves strain on the transmission and the drive train. When the vehicle is started the overdrive is always on, but it can be turned off by a switch button, which is often located on the shifter. Turning the overdrive off will prevent the vehicle from shifting into the overdrive when traveling at the speed of around 40 MPH. It is recommended that the overdrive is constantly on under normal driving conditions. It should be turned off when, for example, hauling heavy loads or going up a long gradual incline.
It most likely disengages overdrive which if its an automatic transmission, so it'll prevent the torque converter from locking up and will probably keep it in 3rd if its a 4 speed.
Yes, a faulty transmission range sensor can prevent the transmission from shifting out of reverse (RD) gear. This sensor, which detects the position of the gear shifter, communicates with the transmission control module to facilitate proper gear shifting. If it fails or provides incorrect signals, the system may restrict shifting to ensure safety, resulting in the vehicle remaining in reverse.
Take the transmission out of overdrive. I believe there is a button right on the gear shift to do this with.
