My 1997 Toyota Tacoma 2.4 L transmission would not shift to overdrive after a fluid/filter change. A obd 2 scanner revealed no codes. I field tested all relays. 1 of my 3 master mechanics ( I mean masters) had the answer. Since I use the web so much for complicated problems I felt compelled to contribute. This particular problem resulted from 2 cooling tubes that have to be pulled from the to connected inlet/ outlet holes. The are held by compression and cover the transmission filter housing and must be removed than reinserted. I dropped the pan and used a soft rubber hammer and much care to seat the tubes properly. Air instead of fluid is introduced to the system if not properly seated. And the tube should also be cleared of debris before replacing. It sure was nice to get overdrive back. Thanks for all the post that have helped me in the past. Cypress 812

Are you sure that it's third it's not shifting into, and not fourth? The transmission is designed to not permit shifts into fourth (overdrive) until the engine and transmission have warmed up a bit.
