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
The first one is faster
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.
its broke
The four speed automatic transmission is a 3 speed with overdrive for highway use.
I was told that it is the temp sensor. The car needs to be at 150 degrees. I am working on the same problem.
You have to use it when you are driving in mountain areas where to have high speed is not a good idea. The overdrive function does allow the transmission to switch to higher gears.
How many quarts of automatic transmission fluid does the 2001 Toyota Avalon automatic transmission hold?
yes u can the trany is the same up to 1996 some of them have overdrive and some dont bu basically is the same
The switch for the backup light switch for an automatic transmission is located on the transmission where the shifting cable enters the transmission (The side of the transmission closest to the radiator),how about for the manual trans mission models?
overdrive button is located on gear shifter on automatice transmission.
My friends car did the same exact thing. It could be your transmission sensor. I am not exactly sure what the sensor is called but it has to do with the way it shifts. Overdrive sensor maybe?
