N-Hubb Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 (edited) 1987 toyota dolphin with a 22RE. Will not shift into overdrive. Sprayed WD40 on shift cables did not do anything. Motor overheating Any suggestions? Edited August 21, 2017 by N-Hubb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 What is the altitude where you are. Overdrive doesn't work at around 4000ft and up. Not the reason it's overheating though that's a separate problem. How hot is it getting. Into the red zone? Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinjaTurtle Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Also, are your windshield wipers working? They're on the same circuit, if they're not working check the fuse. I'm having problems with mine blowing occasionally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WME Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Most experienced Toy drivers with a 22re engine NEVER use o/d. With out a transmission temp gauge its very easy to overheat and cook the transmission.in O/D. The 22re O/D set up was for an empty PU running at 70 mph. Not struggling along at 60 with 4000lbs on its back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanAatTheCape Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I would let it cool all the way down and see what happens. I would also check your trann fluid - see if it was overheated. Are you in the mountains? Note the posts about OD above 4,000 for 4 cylinders.... If the trann fluid is black or smells burnt, I would change it ASAP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwilliam1 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 The Only time I use OverDrive in my 22RE is on long downhill stretches or flat roads! I'm in Ohio so no elevation. When I bought Grannie @ 36K miles I noticed the transmission had been replaced for some reason. Was unsure why until I realized the PO had OverDrive on all the time!

Beyond that there is an "O" ring on the solenoid base that goes bad and it also can jam open. Yes there is an attitude feature that locks it out too more to do with the engine loss of power at altitude than the trans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
