Re: overdrive downshift without warning 700 1989

/// Get under the car and look at the transmission. I bought a car with this problem and the trouble was that some one had been into the transmission and left out the crush washers as well as the copper washers when they put it back together. The transmission will drop out of overdrive if the fluid is low. You may not have this trouble with the auto transmission but check the fluid first.

When you look notice the wire to the overdrive solonoid. Is it tight and in place or hanging off. Start there.
