After driving about 4 miles the overdrive light starts flashing and it has a hard 2-3 shift. At a stop sign I have to shift to neutral and then back to drive to get it in to low gear. It does help to lock out the overdrive when I first start driving it. I have never changed the fluid. Do you think changing the fluid will help?
thanks warnercl

It couldn't hurt, but have the truck scanned for codes, there are a few Technical bulletins on the tranny, Codes will help, Autozone will read them free, post all found please.
