Well, this is a problem that started up on me last winter and seems to have just surfaced. Basically, when the temperature is really cold (like, negative wind chills with heavy wind) the transmission randomly will not shift into overdrive. It shifts through all the other gears just fine but won't go into overdrive resulting in me having to drive 55 MPH at 2,500 RPMs. I checked the fluid when I got home from work yesterday (engine warm, in neutral, on the flat) and the fluid was full and red.
This particularly concerns me because this tranny was a $2,000 rebuild from a reputable shop with only 15,000 miles on it. Any ideas what's up? Or could this be considered "normal?"
Iowa winters suck...
