[QUOTE="Jose Barrios, post: 1037369, member: 74681"] Hello. I've searched through the forums about this problem already, but wanted to provide a bit more information and ask a specific question about my issue. Recently, the overdrive would automatically engage after accelerating approx. 40-45 mph. It would happen randomly at least once or twice a month. (In the mornings after the car has been sitting overnight.) I would shut the car off and re-start it again to disengage overdrive, then continue without any problems. The transmission works [I]perfectly[/I], no hesitation, no slipping. (When overdrive is turned off.) So... I keep seeing that the overdrive light is the "sign of death". But... Could it just be an electrical issue like the solenoid pack that's causing the overdrive to randomly engage? Not necessarily a physical/moving part that's broken or came loose? Because if that's the case, then there's no real urgency, right? It would be annoying as heck to deal with, but it's something I can temporarily put on hold. If someone had experienced this issue, with these conditions, what exactly was the problem? And how long did you have this issue until you got it fixed? Was it bad or not as bad? [/QUOTE]
