Iown a 90 ls400 that has me confused if i disable the o/d button the car pulls as i i were letting go off the gas pedaland stepin ont it again rpm gauge moves up and donw and speed lowers alil bit. It does this at arround 35mph if o/d is enabled it does this arround 60mph. Its really annoying im not ure if its a transmition speed sensor wich im 70% thingking it is or a fuel issue filter,injectorsor fuel pum thats my 30% iwouldjust need your feed back on what might be the problem i will post a vdeo of the car doing its shinanigans any hel is apreciated sorry about ma grammar

Why not just leave it alone in the OD mode? What are you trying to accomplish? Sounds as if it's functioning properly.

I don't quite understand what you're trying to say.....

I don't see why you would take it out of O/D anyhow. I only do that when I'm going down some SERIOUS inclines and don't want to wear out my brakes.

The torque converter is not locking up. Your overdrive selenoid is malfunctioning. Have a tranny shop do a check on this. I had this happen on my aurora.
