Re: 740 overdrive problems 700 1990

I don't understand why you rarely use the overdrive, do you live in very a very hilly region? or just drive in the city?

The purpose of the overdrive is to lower engine speed and increase gas miliage, it is supsoed to be used just like a 5th gear. The relay should solve your problem though.
