The overdrive switch maybe the problem. Does the OD lamp go off or does it stay on?

the OD seems it work it goes off when I push it and comes back on when I push it again. I tried driving with it in OD and without OD and still same thing.

OD gear needs replaced... basically get the trans rebuilt.. DO NOT take it to Aamco Transmission unless you enjoy getting screwed...

There is a OD relay that maybe above the master cylinder or in the PDC. The relay is wired to the solenoid pack and transmission control module. I would recommend to check the wiring before having the transmission either replaced or overhauled.

This may sound weird but does your reverse light come on ? If not check the reverse fuse (it powers the O/D circuit as well)

Well I am not sure about the reverse lights, but I think the OD is fine like I said it Does Come on when I push the button, And when I want it off I push the button and it goes off. IT don't stay on or off so I think that's fine. But I will check these methods.
