what would transmission not to shift in to overdrive
the overdrive sencer
My 1984 corvette transmission is not shifting into overdrive. It shifts first thru third fine.
Your transmission might automatically shift out of overdrive while driving on the interstate because of low transmission fluid. This issue might also occur because of a bad transmission sensor or overdrive sensor.
That car is equipped with a 4R70W electronic automatic transmission through the 2005 model year, and the Overdrive OFF switch is on the end of the shift lever. Push it in to disable Overdrive, and again to re-enable Overdrive. This feature is typically only used when towing or in very hilly or mountainous terrain that would cause the transmission to "hunt" between Third and Fourth gear a lot.
If the overdrive switch is turned off then the car will not go into overdrive. As it is not in overdrive, then it will not downshift out of overdrive as it normally would. It also will not shift to 3rd gear above a certain factory preset speed. Turn th overdrive on and see if it operates normally.
If the transmission is healthy and any/all adjustments are done properly there should be no slippage.
If the overdrive transmission in a 2000 Lexus RX 300 is not functioning, it could be due to several issues, such as a faulty transmission control module, low transmission fluid levels, or a malfunctioning overdrive switch. Additionally, worn transmission components or electrical issues could also be contributing factors. It's advisable to have the vehicle diagnosed by a professional mechanic to identify the specific cause and recommend appropriate repairs. Regular maintenance and fluid checks can help prevent such issues.

Yes, a faulty speed sensor can cause the overdrive light to blink. The speed sensor provides information to the transmission control module about the vehicle's speed, and if it malfunctions, it can lead to erratic transmission behavior, including issues with overdrive engagement. When the transmission detects a problem, it may trigger the overdrive light to blink as a warning to the driver. It's important to diagnose and address the issue promptly to prevent further transmission damage.
The Overdrive Light flashing indicates an internal transmission problem which could be caused by anthiny inside the transmission. Most likely the transmission would have to be removed and taken apart to find the problem.
