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.
