I have no overdrive in my 94 cam
So Im new here, due to the recent purchase of a 94 camaro. I love the car, but, Im still trying to iron out some, what I thought to be small, problems. The car is in great shape cosmetically, interior is still mint, body is good, and I have done alot of preventative maintanance on it so far. However, On my way home today, I had the shifter in overdrive, but it never got out of 3rd gear. Shifting through the gears ( 1st to 2nd) it would tach pretty high. 1st gear would tach out around 4000rpm before it shifted into 2nd, and I wasnt on the throttle that hard for that to happen. It shifts into 3rd pretty normally.
I know this tranny has a lock out torque converter system, but can anyone tell me why I have absolutely no overdrive?

What condition is the fluid in? Is it dark or smell burnt? Are you certain it's not making a 1-3 shift? 2 things have to be applied for O/D. the 2-4 band and the 3-4 clutches. Your 1-2 shift issue makes me believe you're experiencing band failure. If it were missing both 3rd and 4th, I'd say the 3-4 clutches. If the trans has any amount of miles on it, I'd say there's a good chance that both are bad.

147k miles on it. The only fluid that is not new is the trans. Im going to do a filter and fluid change this weekend. If the issue your talking about w the bands and clutch packs are the case, that pretty much means the trans needs to be rebuilt?

I dropped the trans pan this morning, there was a little black film on the bottom But I would say not much. Im gonna go refill the pan w new fluid and some Lucas trans additive, and see what Happens....Our Father, who art in heaven hallow be thy name.....

well that blows. So the Lucas stuff is junk huh? I refilled the trans w new fluid, It did help, however, I still have no overdrive but no more clutch slippage. Maybe this will buy me some time though, until I got the loot to spring for a new trans.
