Re: Goofy Transmission 200 91

Next time it won't shift into what is most likely OD, wack the dash on the upper left corner. I am not kidding. Give it a firm, open-handed wack. If it shifts into overdrive, you have a bad OD relay.

I assume it will NOT shift into overdrive with the relay wack because I am guessing that the wiring to the OD solenoid is bad. If you want you can check this one out while moving also. Remove the two screws that hold the shift indicator plate down and move it a little forward. There should be a white wire that disappears under the car. Have a helper wiggle that wire while driving at 50-60 MPH. You will probably jump into OD or out of it as the wire is wiggled. A better way is to get under the car and actually inspect it.

If it is the relay, resolder it. It will be better than a new relay which will eventually suffer the same fate. The wiring should be replaced if it is bad and all splices should be made watertight.
