Over Drive Slow to engage 700 1985

posted by  someone claiming to be john chiodi on  Mon Nov 5 12:04 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I got 1985 740Gle Non-turbo w/ M46.

The overdrive will not engage until it's been warmed up for between ten and 15 minutes. It's been pretty consistant, on the way to work I can gauge just about when it will start to work. Although it does seem to take a little longer as it's been getting cooler here. (OHIO)

It does show signs of a slow leak but does not puddle. Possibly only leaking while engaged? I've tried to tighten all visible nuts.

I have drained and topped up with TYPE F Auto tranny fluid, still does the same thing.

Is it that hard to take off and drain the thing and replace any o-rings and such?

In the FAQ it looks as though everything may fall out if I remove the cover!!

Any ideas on this?
