[GRAMPS SS]

Today i get in the mountaineer and the O/D OFF light is flashing...pullover shut off the car and then it's out..then while driving again it comes back on...over drive is working...but the light keeps flashing...


any ideas...:confused

Put it in the trash compactor and buy a new truck.

it means that there are codes stored related to your transmission.

i believe the shift solonoids are really common on these...i know on the pick ups they are supposly

Is it shifting hard now Wayne? Usually means a torque converter clutch slip.

[Reverend Cooper]

either its slipping,or not releaseing.

just got back from my budddies garage,,,he had the right scanner...pulled a code of..

PO782

Dan, she shifts fine..no diff then any other day that i've driven her...that's why i was wondering about the flashing code light for the trans...maybe something is getting ready to blow or Deggy is going to want to drive the QUEER and crack it up...

[Reverend Cooper]

2-3 gear shift malfunction,what does the fluid look like,is there anything that isnt working right shifting,speedo anything. either has a shift solenoid or poss valve body issue otherwise

[Russ Jerome]

PO782 could simply be an acumulator spring or solenoid.

Drop the pan and looks for "chunks n pieces", no pieces
its an ez test for solenoid, chunks put it together and clear
code to resell, takes 40 key cycles to clear otherwise.....

[Reverend Cooper]

if the accumulator sping is broke it should have a diff shift feel tho right russ

[Russ Jerome]

Drop the pan and looks for "chunks n pieces",

Kinda like finding "boats n hoes" in your pool...not good

[Reverend Cooper]

nice

[GRAMPS SS]

the Queer shifts like it always has...my buddy cleared the code....who wants to take a look at it and fix it up for me...

don't want to sell it...it's a good truck otherwise...

My F-150 started doing that once and all I had to do was add some tranny fluid.

[Deggy]

Well there you go grandpa...try adding some tranny fluid.

I'll buy the Mountainqueer off you, well thats if I had the cash.

[Yeehaw]

try some lucas tranny fix worked great in my bronc and my f250!
