I have about 1000mi on car since rebuild. Everything works fine BUT this car has shifted into overdrive at about 55-60 mph WITHOUT me shifting it. It has difficulty coming out of overdrive mode until Ive driven in town several blocks using clutch to stop or downshift. Using overdrive switch works fine when I want to shift.
Is this a linkage problem. Driving several miles at 55-60 mph and not engaging the overdrive switch or clutch has me contused to what to look for.
This has only happened 3 times since Ive had it on the road. Want to fix quickly before it turns into bigger problem
Any advice appreciated,Thank you
