Why won't my truck shift into over drive
Asked by Aronj25 Sep 11, 2012 at 12:10 AM about the 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 LS LB RWD
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
It will switch through all three of the other gears just fine but it will not shift into overdrive. I have replaced both
solinoids, filter, fluid, and gasket. Not sure what else it could be

Does the truck have tow haul? Also could be the tcc switch. The only person who would think it was the linkage is the same person who needs help adding oil at the gas station. If it was the linkage then the truck wouldn't go into any of the other spots properly. N would be overdrive R would be neutral and P would be reverse and the truck wouldn't have park rolling down any slight grade it was parked on.

How do you know it's not shifting into overdrive? Or, what is the vehicle doing to make you suspect this?
Goodwrench707 answered 12 years ago
Your vehicle has a 4 speed transmission. After 3 shifts, you would be in 4th gear, which is overdrive.

Unless the ATF level is really low you probably need a new transmission. Have a transmission specialist check it out.

I would suspect the input speed sensor is faulty. Mine is doing the same thing and throws a misfire code. Will be changing the input speed sensor tomorrow.

Why do you idiots comment when you have no idea what is the problem? You think I wanna read all these useless comments and waste my time?
Keep reading just make sure you check the solenoids sometimes speedometer is connected to system car won't go into fourth without it as well as tow packages figure it out new guy

I have a 2004 Chevrolet Silverado and it hits when the car is cold when I put it in D and it only does it once and the overdrive won't engage and I don't have any codes in the transmission.
