No Overdrive December 14, 2007, 01:08:44 AM I have lost overdrive, it'll shift but if i touch the throttle the RPM just go up and the car stays at the speed its going. I was thinking about a lightly built one from B&M or accurate. I kinda want a manual valve body to go with my hammer shifter. Anyone got some good recommendations? Quote Selected

Over drive is usually activated electronically via a switch (like the 4R70W where you can turn OD on and off with a switch). Quote Selected

I want to try to rebuild an auto but not when im under the gun ya know. Quote Selected

If it's not the cable its a OD servo or band problem... Quote Selected
