The transmission will not go into overdrive. There is no button to turn the overdrive on and off.The overdrive worked fine after i first got the car with about 108,000 miles on it but after the car sat for over a year woth out using it the overdrive stoped working. I put a new fillter and fuid in but still won't work. Wha would be the most likely trouble,TCM ECM ECU or the Overdrive Solenoide.
Thank you.

  all those guesses are pricy. why dont you get a trans shop to check it for you and give you a bid?? could be the valve body or the solenoid but it is just another guess.

• The Overdrive will not engage sometime?
  The overdrive does not engage sometime causing the engine to rev at high RPMs?
