Have you check to see if you have a dragging brake? Smell anything odd after driving it for a bit?

Do as Merc & HeyYou have asked and do a compression test. We really can't give too much more advice without that.


Are you saying you felt more power when stepping on the gas pedal when you were driving with the OD off?

Converter still locks in third gear, but, disabling overdrive also changes the shift points.......

Yeh it's going to feel more responsive since your already locked in 3rd with OD off.
