overdrive problem ???
Didn't find this on a search, so :
My 96' when it shifts into OD pretty much starts to feel like the car is coming unglued. just starts shaking like crazy. as soon as I downshift to 3d, it all goes away. -I did get an error code for #5 coil but I can't for the life of me figure out how that would make the car go nuts only in OD. -trans acts fine otherwise. -Fluid was replaced 3 years ago along with timing belt, and i do a pan change each time I change the oil. -no burnt smell to trans fluid -car has only been driven 200 miles in the last two years, pretty much in (covered) storage while I was in Afghanistan and since I got home. thoughts ?

If you find any, scratch them out, and spray it with a silicon oil. If you don't find any, buy a new coil. Harvey.

Re: overdrive problem ???
Thanks Harvey- never would have figured a coil could cause the car to shake like that.
I got a complete set of extra coils just in case. once I get back to NY I will put one in and see how we fly. thanks again!

Re: overdrive problem ???
OK, so I replaced what I thought was coil #5, driver side, the one closest to the battery. (based on the pic in my Chilton book.) no real change, and I still get error code P0305.
is #5 on the passenger side all the way n the front

Re: overdrive problem ???
OK, in another pic the book shows # as passenger side, against the firewall.
should have known the forst pic was reversed by the way they had the igniter.

Re: overdrive problem ???
To close out this question/ thread:
A dying coil/ bad spark will make ones car shake violently when the overdrive kicks in. Never would have figured that. Got the opportunity to work on the car in 25deg weather- and replaced the #5 coil. The spark plug (iridium) although loose, had good coloring to it so I left it in. Car runs fine other than it has been mostly in storage 2 years so I have some rust on the brakes to work off. Just passed my NYS inspection Not the best weather to be driving in, but figure I should run a few tanks of gas through it before putting it back in the barn.
