Russel,

I have recently had the same problem. After learning about how the "system" works, I discovered the wire that goes to the selenoid had rotted. Replaced the wire and no problem. The selenoid needs to have power to enable the O/D. The relay does this. Without it you only have 3 gears.

It would be easy enough to go to a junk yard and get a replacement relay. Or you could bypass the relay. Just figure out which wire is always hot (yellow?)and which one goes to the tranny thru the stick shift area(white?). Put the wires together and bingo.
