Scott iv Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 I saw mentioned in another post an overdrive button not working. Not sure the OD button on the v6 is the same as the 22re. On my 22re my overdrive controller was not working as well. In my case the overdrive was stuck on which I did not like; I like to be able to turn it off. I removed the shift lever and was able to disassemble and clean the switch. I also found the connection on the transmission and cleaned that as well. Still a no go. I ended up removing the wire from the overdrive button on the end of the shift lever (I cut the wire as close to the button as I could), pulled the wire out of the shift lever, and routed it to a simple 2 position 12v switch I purchased at an auto parts store. Now works without problems. Not difficult. I'd try cleaning original switch and connection at the transmission first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Seabee Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 how does the switch on the end of the shifter come apart? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott iv Posted September 11, 2020 Author Share Posted September 11, 2020 I'll go out and look at it tonight; I can't remember. I know I took the shift arm off the column and think there was a notch in the switch which I pried with a screw driver to open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
