    Also was curious why the AOD isn't shifting into overdrive?

    seems like when I shift into OD it goes into neutral?




    is there anything I can check or is the tranny fried? :(

    OD band probably gone, it is usually the first thing to go.
    Just happened to me on the 91 before i sold it.

    A buddy of mine mentioned it could be a selector shaft or a bad syncro???


    When I shift to overdrive it sorta acts like its in neutral.

    Once the OD band is shot it will just rev like neutral when in OD and the band is the first thing to go usually.

    itll start to wipe everything else out.... you ay your shifting into od... maual valve body.. like a lentech? theres an aod for sale on the parts thread. itd probably cost as much to fix it and put new bands in clutches in then buy a good used one.

    If thats the case, would it cost a lot more to switch it to a stick?
