OD Problem, M46 Manual

posted by  someone claiming to be Odd-Rune Stensby on  Mon Apr 9 03:25 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I'll post this message again because I didn't put my words wery well,i'ts not automatic, it is a M46 Manual 4spedd+OD.

I've bought my first Volvo and it's an 1984 740GLE.

The car runs great and looks good, nu rust or dents. And it drives well.

But i have one major problem with it:

When shifting into overdrive,releasing the gas, the od engages but as soon as you give it the gas, the overdrive disengages , then if you release the gas pedal it shifts into the overdrive, again disengaging when you give it the gas. The problem seems to be when the car gets hot, because it works better just after starting to drive (when the oil are cold)

The transmission itself is tight and shifts well without any noises, also into overdrive. I have checked the wiring and changed the oil on the transmission.

Any suggestions? Thanks.
