<p>..could also be fluid level .... pump starvation.<br>
If you can hold the shift lever to one side or push fore/aft a tad
and it stays engaged,,,,it's mostly likely an interlock switch
wear issue.</p>

<div>Yes, it switches in and out all by itself. When I then
switch back to 4th she behaves normally. I'll first check
where the OD sub-harness meets the wiring that goes up the
shift lever. In that space several wire bunches are scrunched
together.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Does it switch in and out with no input
from you or is it necessary for you to re-engage each
time? If it is the former it might be something as
simple as the adjustment of one of the interlock
switches on top of the transmission. If it is set
right at the ragged edge of actuation it can be
switching from open to closed to open just due to the
vibrations. Also check the wiring for a loose or
poorly crimped connector. <br>

<div>Looking for some help with my 73 Stag's
overdrive. After some work behind the dash
instigated by my recovering the center console,
on the very first drive OD would not stay
engaged. After being switched on it would
immediately begin to flip in and out, not
holding OD for more than a second or two. Could
this be a wiring issue? I'll be checking the
switch a little later. Any other ideas? Its been
working flawlessly since a rebuild maybe 10
years ago. <br>
