overdrive acting funny 200 1984

posted by  someone claiming to be Tim on  Mon Dec 4 02:35 CST 2000 [RELATED]

i have a 1984 240 DL with an overdrive that seems to have a mind of its own. when i got the car the shift knob was off. i took the switch out and hooked it up to the wires on the shifter. on the highway it will usually shift into OD no problem. sometimes i get nothing though and sometimes the light will flicker on and off several times accompanied by a buzzing sound and then it will not work at all. when i take it out of overdrive, the light goes off but it does not shift out of OD for approxitely 1 mile after, then it shudders out of overdrive. i have no idea what to make of this. relay? maybe a fourth gear contact? any help would be appreciated. thanks -tim
