OD wiring?

[joesho24]

now ive got the so tranny and engine....but they didnt put the sho shifter in it. So i dont have an overdrive switch. Is there a wire near the tranny or linkage that i could hook up a toggle switch because overdrive is pissen me off lately!

Maybe go to a junk yard and see if you can pick up the harness for one. Totally not sure if that would work or not.

Cool idea for a conversion, the ultimate sleeper. thumb

how would i get that switch? do i have to take the console apart? i was going to look on mine for the od wire and see if i cant just unplug it for now or wire up my own switch

The TCS is a momentary contact switch. If the signal line is open in your car, OD should be enabled.

yes it does work but i want to find that wire to rig up my own switch or if i can unplug it so od doesnt work just for now

i rigged up my own, stupid people who rebuilt my tranny ripped the wire off the swith on the shifter ****, so i cut a hole for a switch in my little cargo area, and connected it all up, and wow, it makes me smile now, i can turn o/d off and on. easy to do, just takes the time to rip the center console apart.

Hi! Could you possibly explain HOW you hooked up your switch?! I'm in the same boat here...my overdrive switch does not work. The trani is in overdrive all the time, and I'd like to rig my own switch to kick it on or off. Not sure what type of switch (momentary or "on" - "off") to use. That, and, of coarse, where the actual wiring is located. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
