would cause a jatco to not select overdrive,? and how would you go adjusting belts/

most of the time youll find its got to do with the wires going to the button on the tbar, check that out mine doesnt go into it all the time, give the tbar a few wacks and it goes into it just cbf fixing it yet

Mine always goes into overdrive, and wont hold 3rd, pwr in or out.... same deal as above? ^

jatcos wont select overdrive until engine has reached operating temp

when you press the pwr button swich does it illuminate on the dash? - if yes your switch is okay. I had the same problem and what l did was: 1. pull the overdrive solenoid out of the side of the trans. 2. there are 2 o rings. 3. one o ring is inside (little fat one) - replace that. ( main o ring ) 4. outer o ring - also replace this. Once l did the above, take it for a drive allow the trans to warm up, 15min drive and your overdrive will work...... If it doesn't work, replace solenoid. good luck.

yes, mine is a genuine turbo trans. Turbo trans don't have a solenoid on the bellhousing, the closest solenoid to your bellhousing is you overdrive solenoid, pull it out (vicegrips) and replace the little inner o ring and your problem will be solved. I was having exact same symptoms as you, dash lighting up etc, changed solenoid with no effect, as soon as l put new o rings and took it for a drive after 10-15 mins my pwr button was working. God Luck. I may have a spare o ring and if you need help give me a yell.

Thanks mate ill have a go at it tomoro, no stress abou the orings ill just get some from somewhere,,
