Does it simply not shift at all, or does it, when in O/D on the gear selector, act like it's still in third till you let off the gas and then freewheels till you step on it again? That's what mine does, and I've come to the conclusion that my tranny is shot. You might crawl under there and check the wires to the tranny to make sure nothing has come unplugged or loose, maybe some water or dirt got into one of the connectors. Inside the tranny there is a solinoid that controls the O/D shift, that could have gone bad. For your sake I hope it's something simple like that as that is an expensive transmission to have rebuilt, and it's somewhat fragile. -TD
