Hey all, 210k miles. Overdrive is working less and less.
I already gutted the relay. Overdrive is hardwired to a heavy duty switch I pulled from something on the Apollo program. The overdrive will enguage sometimes if its cold out. Once the car warms up it seems less likely to work. If its like 60 degrees out, it sometimes will enguage if I'm going 70 up a hill and floor it. Less and less likely though. That used to be surefire.
We've replaced the tranny fluid ~30k ago. There's a magnetic filter we clean fairly regularly. I think we even replaced the solenoid itself like 60k miles ago. All these steps "felt" like they were making it better, but for every one, 10k latter it was just as bad as it had been.
It keeps getting worse. It used to enguage basically no-matter-what in the cold. Now once the car starts warming up, it doesnt seem to want to enguage.
I'd really like some advice on this. with a working OD, the car would be great.
