Default auto o/d

Mine is 95, lt1, automatic. problem is it is not shifting into overdrive. Everything else seems fine, shifts good in every other gear. It has been serviced regularly, but is high mileage.

Is there a possible external cause (sensor or whatever) or am I looking at a trans rebuild?

Engine coolant temp. sensor possibly. Went I had my trans rebuilt the ECT got broken and it wouldn't go into OD. A forum member said that w/o the sensor it won't. Replaced ECT sensor and BINGO I had OD. Just one of many possibilities. Good luck, Robert

Wow. Engine coolant sensor is about the last thing I would have expected. Gauges all read correctly, so there would have to be at least two ECTs on the car. Thanks for the reply, I will have to check it out.

Is this the same for a '90? I'm having this issue and I know my temp sensor is bad, but its kinda wedged in there with teflon tape at the moment and I don't want to swap it unless necissary...
