Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) O'drive vs. trans temp

[lizzyhermit]

I've read that OD will not disengage via the switch if the trans is not to operating temp. Is this accurate and if so, what is the "magic" temperature?

lizzyhermit,



It's the other way around. The transmission will not shift into overdrive until it reaches a minimum temperature.



During spring, summer, and fall, this almost is never a consideration. After a cold start in 20 degree (or so) weather, my 1995 truck needed about a mile or two before the transmission was warm enough to shift into overdrive.



I don't know what the temperature setting is.
