I have only had the car for about 6 months and it has never went into overdrive. I was told that the "switch" on the transmission was broke? Does this mean I need a new transmission or can something else be done to fix this. PLEASE HELP Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator May 3, 2008, 2:22 PM Post #2 of 3 (6550 views) Re: Transmission won't shift into overdrive Sign In I just looked and didn't find a torque converter control switch for this but that doesn't mean there isn't one. Check that all fuses are good with an ohm meter. If there is a switch - does it light up? Don't know as this is probably a Mazda sold thru Mercury. If all checks out just look for wiring that goes to the trans and see if it's all hooked up. Last ditch: I hear AAMCO will do a diag for free if sent by AutoZone and would check that out. Perhaps you'll get lucky and it won't be a big deal..... Good luck, T brbettge User May 4, 2008, 1:07 PM Post #3 of 3 (6544 views) Re: Transmission won't shift into overdrive Sign In I'll try to help here. the overdrive on this car is probably controled by solenoids inside the transmission unless there is a button on your shifter lever inside the car. It is not a terribly expensive fix but not really something a DIY'r should do. the car is essentially a ford escort and we know how many of those are around. i'd take it to a reputable tranny shop and have it checked and/or estimated.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
