take the top off the T bar and check the wires inside to the switch as they break or the switch itself might be worn you might be able to fix that or you can buy a 3$ switch from the shop and mount it to the console as ive done with mine just becareful of the springs when you take it apart

Could be kickback solenoid on the box disconnected or faulty As for no overdrive when cold that's all normal and fine

it skips 3rd gear and goes straight into overdrive even if the car is cold i would of thought something was faulty but occasionaly it will work fine for a few mins and then it will play up again and wont work for a long time
