Re: no overdrive

Mine did something similar. Does yours work alright in 1,2,D,R? Mine did and when i put it in overdrive it acted as if it were in neutral. I pulled the pan off and found chunks of debris in it, and I am almost certain I blew a sprag. could be something similar?

Re: no overdrive

Mine pulls. All the way through , just won't go into o.d . I'm gonna jack it up and make sure the plug hasn't come loose from the tranny, and change the fluid and filter.
