I worked at Toyota as a tech for 10 years, and never once worked on a column shift lever. There's 2 things going on that I wonder if anyone here has encountered . 1) the "O/D off" light does not work at all. the trans shifts into O/D but the switch won't turn it on or off. I'm fine with the O/D on all the time. 2) the shifter "knob" is not tight on the stalk, like it can be twisted back and forth on the lever. I have no idea how it's attached, there's no screws or anything, just the bezel around the O/D on/off switch. unable to find many pics or exploded views of this shifter. I'm imagining that the thing got twisted over the years and broke/shorted the wires to the switch and blew the light bulb. Any Ideas? Google search turns up many "O/D off" flashing topics, but zero about the light not working...

I have a 1986 Sunrader automatic transmission with the column shift. The previous owner cut out the overdrive indicator light, cutting the wires leaving the 5 wire loom without the connector. It feels like the transmission is dogging, it is very sluggish. It is almost dead off the line. The motor is strong, but you have to floor it and it will go all the way up to 30+ mph before shifting. It feels like first gear doesn't exist. I have been searching for a replacement light but apparently Toyota discontinued it. I have been calling all kinds of salvage yards but no one has what I need. Does anyone know where I can get one? Do I even need it? I hear that the part flashes codes for the mechanics, but I've not sure if that is true. Any info would be very much appreciated. I am kind of stranded at the moment so if you have a lead on a part you can even call me at 757-693-1385. Thank you.
