The Montana not shifting into overdrive could be caused by several things. First, check the computer codes for any possible problems. Make sure that the Transmission Fluid is full and does not look or smell burnt. If the vehicle has high mileage, the transmission filter could need changing.

What does 2 in the automatic gear box mean?

What does it mean when your overdrive band has failed?
It is not really a band, but a set of clutches, or a clutch pack. It means that you no longer have a 4th gear (overdrive) because the clutches are either burnt, or the seals that control the pressure are no longer sealing. It is also the weakest of all clutch asemblies in the transmission. You will need a transmission overhaul.

What is the OD off light on the dashboard of 1989 Camry?
Hi. I'm assuming that the od light is illuminated. Your Camry has a three speed automatic with electronic overdrive,(4th gear). This is activated by a button on the T bar under the button you press to select P R D etc. If the dash light is on, then overdrive is off. If you press the button as mentioned and the light still stays on, then there is a problem. Hope this helps.

Overdrive Solenoid
Is drive in fourth gear considered overdrive?
No it is not Overdrive is the top gear that has a higher ration than 1 to 1. So if you have a 4 speed automatic with overdrive, then 4th is not overdrive. Overdrive is beyond 4th.
Does a 1997 Geo Metro transmission have overdrive after 35 mph?
If you are speaking of the automatic transmission, no. The 1997 geo metro has a 3 speed automatic. At approximately 35 mph it will shift from 2nd to 3rd gear. This means that it will run at 3500 rpm when traveling at 55 mph. Most cars with overdrive will shift to the 4th gear (overdrive) at this point. A geo metro, which only has 3 gears, does not.

Why no shift into overdrive fourth on 2000 Pontiac Montana just quit shifting all of a sudden 1st2nd3rd are fine artie?
Your 4th gear is burned out. May be a transmission manufacturer's problem. I noted this problem while researching to buy a possible 2000 Pontiac Montana. These vehicles are seeming to be real losers once they hit 60,000 miles and above. You may want to check to see if there is a recall on this problem. Might want to take it to someone like AAMCO to have check out. I had a 86 Ford, Explorer the transmission began slipping at 65,000, yes just pass the warranty. AAMCO mechanic showed me a defective part, I was able to get Ford to reimburse me for the cost of the repair. Took a lot of phone calls,but at least got my $1,300 back.
Why is the overdrive light on for a 1994 Volvo 940 wagon?
The light indicates that Overdrive is off. The overdrive solenoid on the transmission has to be energised to allow the transmission to shift into 4th gear There are 4 common failures. Most likely first; * Bad Relay - The solder on the circuit board cracks. - open it and re-solder * Bad wiring * ** - Broken at the switch lights the light ** - Broken at the solenoid does not light the light * Bad switch on the shift lever * Bad solenoid Good Luck

1988 Volvo 740 What is button on gear shift for?
It's the overdrive engage button, which is like a 5th gear. It only engages when the gear lever is in 4th gear and it can be operated without depressing the clutch.
What position should overdrive button be in on a Nissan sunny automatic car wheh driving it?
In Nissan Sunny (and some other cars too), overdrive is ON when the button is DEPRESSED and there's NO LIGHT in the dashboard. The automatic transmission will utilise all the 4 forward gears (the 4th gear being the overdrive that helps in fuel economy -- similar to 5th gear in a manual gearbox). This is the recommended setting for normal driving. When the button is NOT DEPRESSED, you turn OFF overdrive, and the indicator LIGHTS UP in the dashboard. In this mode, the automatic transmission will NOT shift into 4th gear.
Why would a Dodge Ram truck have problems shifting from third to fourth gear until warmed up?
4th gear is overdrive. the computer locks out overdrive until the transmission fluid is up to normal operating temperature. once up to normal temp, the vehicle will shift into overdrive and all is well. there is only a problem if the vehicle does not shift into 4th AFTER reaching proper operating temperature. The thinking is that the transmission warms up faster in 3rd than it would in 4th (overdrive). I believe this type of control is due to environmental laws, or fuel consumption considerations. what confuses me is that the recommended operating procedure when towing or hauling is to manually lock out overdrive in an effort to keep trans fluid cooler. here you have specia controls built into the vehicle to warm up tans fluid faster by using 3rd gear. then, once up to normal temp, you need to lock out 4th because trans fluid will run cooler in 3rd. very odd. I been trying to find out why this is for a long time.
