Okay, perhaps it is a fours speed with over drive. On those four speed Auto's, I know that there is an over drive relay in the passenger side foot well. Maybe that's what is tripping you up. You may be able to either salvage it by disassembling it and cleaning it up or simply replace it.

Man, if that's all it is that would be awesome. I wonder if a three speed transmission makes any sense on a vehicle like this.

You actually jumped on what I've been doing since last night <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> I did some research, and found in these forums many reports of OD not working properly due to the temp switch or OD relay. Just replaced the temp switch and there was no change. I'm going to remove and try to rescue the relay next.

Ok, here's an update. I found out I was using the ground wire on the wrong piece. Whatever lies directly under the thermostat housing and just to the right with one terminal, that's what I mistakenly thought was the temp switch. After removing it and comparing it to the new part I knew it was wrong and located the correct switch.

I replaced the part, and when I ran the wire from the terminal to the negative battery terminal, my temp gauge just peaked in the red zone. Remove the wire and it went back down to the normal spot. This leads me to believe the switch is fine. Moving on to the OD relay. I need help.

I looked under the drivers side and see this:


The write plug the stretches furthest to the right was taped up to a wire harness and not plugged into anything. I believe the relays I've found on the drivers side are the seat belt relay furthest up the side, the intermittent wiper relay, but I need to know if the OD relay should be in this mess.

Then I went to the passengers side and snapped these:



Are any of THESE the OD relay lol?

Still hoping for some clarification on the location of the OD Relay.

Just got it back from the shop, had the oil and trans fluid changed, as well as filters. Everything in the pan looked normal so I'm happy for that. It's also a four speed, as I thought, so once I find that relay I can look into rebuilding/replacing that.
