Why in the hell won't anyone help me?!? 700

posted by  someone claiming to be Joe Schaefer on  Tue May 14 03:07 CST 2002 [RELATED]

If anyone had read my original post, you would all realize that I have checked the archives to no avail. They list AW71 overdrive problems, but none that match mine. My car lost the overdrive only when it was cold in the morning. After about 15 minutes or so, it would engage and work perectly for the rest of the day. It has become a lot worse. Now I have no overdrive at all. This may not seem like a major problem to any of you, but I put around 100 miles per day on this car. With that is mind, not being able to reasonably exceed 60 mph is a definite problem. All of the other shift points are normal, and the relay and solenoid both click when the switch is pressed. The light in the dash is not on all of the time, but the shifter switch will light it up (as it should). Any ideas? I am not asking to be spoon fed, but trust me, there are no matching problems in the 700/900 FAQ...
