Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! It sounds like your 1995 Lincoln Town Car is having a tough time engaging overdrive. Since the transmission is operating normally in 1-3 gears, we’re looking at a few potential culprits. First, if the transmission fluid is oxidized, it might not be providing adequate lubrication or pressure to engage the overdrive, which can lead to slipping or failure to shift. I recommend changing the fluid and filter to see if that helps. Another possibility is an issue with the overdrive solenoid or the wiring associated with it. If the solenoid is stuck or failing, it won't engage the overdrive. Given that there are no trouble codes, a diagnostic test might not catch it, but a thorough inspection of the transmission wiring could reveal issues.
