Hey I have just recently purchased a 1988 SC Mr2. Its automatic currently but down the line I plan on converting it to a manual.
Im having issues with the overdrive system. It seems to work only when it wants to. First few days of owning the car it working fine. You pressed the overdrive button on and you felt the car change into overdrive. Turn it off and you felt the car change out of overdrive.
The last few days how ever when you press the overdrive button the light on the dash with go out (meaning its in overdrive) but the car itself wont change down. Its not helping my fuel consumption (. Just the other night i was driving and it wouldnt change down into overdrive..............after taking off at an intersection quite quickly in low gear then moving it into drive once i hit 50km/hr i then tried flicking it into overdrive and it actually changed into overdrive.
Anyone have experience with this and know the cause? Anyone also able to tell me how the overdrive system actually works.
