My 1979 245DL with M47 had the overdrive switch a slide switch in the top of the shifter handle. Is that what you have? OR do you have the push button switch toggle type?

If the slide switch, it is often tht switch that goes bad.

If the toggle type, suspect the relay. It can be resoldered, usually with a good result.

Check under the car. The wire to the solenoid, whether stick or auto tranny, can get damaged and/or disconnected.

Good Luck,

Bob
