1990 Super Cab Won't Go In Overdrive

[blulak7]

Hi,

I have a 1990 Ford Ranger Super Cab w/ the 4.0L V6. Just recently I have experienced, on two separate occasions, no movement in overdrive. When I give it gas it sounds like I am in neutral. I checked to make sure it was in gear and it appeared to be. However, if I put it into normal drive everything works okay. If later on I switch back to overdrive, again everything appears normal. Any thoughts?

well, jeff i am here or the same reason. i have the 91' ranger w/ 4.0l v-6 and adl 4 spd autotrans. except when i put it into od after i get going it starts slipping now, so i put it into drive possition again and it is fine
? is this a internal sellinoid problem or does it have a electrical sellinoid that a wire fell off. should i install a new filter and fluid?
thnx Patrick

if you re pushing the od button on the side of the shifter its turning it off and will raise your rpms its like downshifting a manual car. if you are just driving it in regular od on the column then check your linkage and whatever electrical connections their are
