97 gst Overdrive not working

[Ish]

I have a 97 eclipse GST. It's an automatic and the overdrive doesn't kick in. When I push the overdrive button, it doesn't engage and feels like it's in neutral. Someone told me it could be the relay or sensor. I would like to know if this is the problem.. If so, I need to know where the relay or sensor is located. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You should probably go to a tranny specialist it could be a multitude of different things... and if you don't know where your relay is that should be more incentive to go

I'd say your 4th gear clutches & plates are shagged.
ITP sell an upgraded set or you can buy a std set.
Box doesn't have to come out to replace them. Easy fix.
You may as well do a filter change & new fluid as well.
Cheers !

Thanks for the help. Hopefully that will work.

Did you get it fixed? I think it looks like I'm having the same problem.

I took my car into a body shop and left it there for two weeks to have work done it cause of an accident (got hit on driver side door). After picking up the car yesterday, I noticed the overdrive doesn’t work anymore. No matter if it’s on or off it doesn’t do anything. The light on the dash never worked since I switched to a new cluster last year. I always leave the overdrive on and never had a problem before taking it to the shop. When I test drove it and reached 60mph the rpm stays high, it feels like the overdrive is turned off and it doesn’t want to go into the next gear.

Thank you
