Weird transmission issues on a '95 Celica AT (possibly electrical) Options

[deadwolfbones]

Today I was driving home from work on the interstate at 75mph and suddenly the Overdrive Off light came on my dash, then it disappeared, then it came on again, and it kept flicking back and forth like that (with resulting gear shifts/RPM changes) until I manually pressed the toggle off and on again (probably 4-5 on/off cycles). After I manually toggled the switch, it stopped doing it for the remainder of the drive.

Any idea what might have caused this, whether it's a symptom of a larger problem, or what it might cost to fix if a cost is necessary?

The car is running perfectly otherwise, btw.

thats an indicator that its time to get rid of an auto and get a 5 speed.


just kidding, i wish i could answer your question but instead im just going to clutter up your thread.

its possible that the ECU is seeing a short in the connection between the OD button. the button itself could be failing. the transmission might need servicing.

This is why i dont do autos
