Well i have no idea what is wrong with my tranny and turn to the guru's on here. Ok i have an 86 aod tranny and for some reason it wont shift into overdrive. Sometimes it will if i keep it at 3 grand for a couple seconds in third gear (4.10 gears) but other times it wont. What could this be? the tv cable? i have no idea but need help with solutions fast! thanks soooo much in advance. My trip to job is mainly freeway and its killen me :SNSign:

If it is shifting fine into every gear except overdrive, then it is most likely your overdrive band. You need to have it rebuilt. If you do get it rebuilt, I would recommend rebuilding the whole thing, don't just slap a new OD band on there.

well the tranny was rebuilt 10,000 miles ago so i dont see how that would be the issue. Idk its hard to explain but sometimes when i go up to a certain rpm and then let off it will shift into overdrive.

Most transmission places have some kind of warranty. Check into that option.
