over drive gear 94 v6

[danonly55]

My camry has the automatic transmission and the overdrive is controled by a button on the shifter, when I push in the button the transmission jerks in and out of overdrive. I am at 60 or better when I engage the O/D, Whats causing this and whats my fix?

IIRC, You should never turn O/D OFF at that speed. Double check your owner's manual.

I didnt turn it off, I was trying to turn it on and it dosen't engage, that was my question

[LynchburgCSI]

O/D should be on (orange light on the dash OFF) at all times under normal driving. Is it shifting rough only in/out of O/D?

[danonly55]

It shifts good through all other gears, its only the O/D that is acting up.

There's allot of things that could keep OD on the blink so to speak. You have any details? Temperature, speed, trans condition, fluid level and condition. Is the OD light blinking on and off? You might pull in and have the CEL codes read. When is the last time it worked properly?

[danonly55]

There are no codes on the computer, when im going over 60mph in O/D and come off the gas the trans shifts rapidly in and out of O/D, its also slow to engage into 1st gear from a dead stop?

Solenoid?

Have you:
Check and adjusted throttle pressure via service manual directions?

Is the fluid level correct in park, idle, warm trans?

How long have these issues been an issues? days / months / years / OR >> Family loaner car and you don't know?

[danonly55]

The problem started about a year ago, and the fluid level is good and it was real dark too.
