Re: useless query about trans. temp and overdrive interlock 200 85

"...I'm in 4th gear before..."

So it's a manual tranny, not an automatic? (The manual has 4 gears before OD shifts, the automatic has three gears before OD engages.)

"...a little more than a bit slushy..."

A "slushy" manual tranny?

When it refuses to shift into OD, is the indicator light on or off? Does the light track with the lazy OD?

"...replace the trans oil with a thinner grade?"

Maybe — this might be a good reason to use Amsoil, since synthetics are more temperature-stable than regular oil.
