Is it possible for overdrive lockout to be 'weak'? 700 1988

posted by  someone claiming to be seattle_erik on  Mon Aug 16 08:14 CST 2004 [RELATED]

1988 760t, 165000 miles

When I accelerate hard at freeway speeds, I can only get to about 3500 rpms in third gear before the overdrive/4th upshift. If engage the overdrive lockout at this time, nothing happens. The only way I can get the lockout to work is if I engage it while stopped. In this case, I can turn it off while moving; but again, I can't reengage it right away - need to stop again. Is it possible that I have a "weak" overdrive lockout? Why is my car shifting to overdrive so far below redline in 3rd?

Thanks for information!
