Everything was fine until that 30 seconds over Tokyo :eek: I hit it to pass a couple of cars and it downshifted to drive and I held it to about 90+mph but when I let off it was as if it was in neutral. This is with the shifter in OD. When I hit the gas again in OD it was in 3rd and again it felt like it was in neutral when I let off the gas. I manually put the trans in drive and it felt like 3rd and was holding. All other functions are normal, it shifts normal thru the gears from a stop to 3rd and it goes into lockup in third but it just will not shift into overdrive. Fluid is at the normal level and is not burned and clean and the tv cable had not moved. I readjusted the cable and still the same results. Thanks kindly in advance for your help/responses.
 
Spoke to Lonnie at Extreme Automatics earlier and he explained what has happened, which is the overdrive planet has in all probability developed a crack at a weld and is not allowing the od to engage. The fix is relatively simple, for a transmission tech that knows what he's doing, and the parts are available from Extreme Automatics. Or time for the Stage 3. :D
