no overdrive with my sedona

[mintoy]

hi guys. maybe you can give me some advise.

my kia sedona has ran 45k km. and now it only shift to 3rd gear. ayaw mag overdrive. i tried playing the overdrive switch but no success. wheels recommends to ovehaul the transmission which will cost 60k.

it difficult for me to accept that the trans need and overhaul cuz first to third gear are fine. no slippage. hope you guys can help. thanks

Baka niloloko ka lang, switch problem lang yan. Though I would defer to the experts. I could be totally wrong.

45,000 kms? Overhaul na daw?

Nagpalit ka na ba ng ATF?

Pacheck mo muna sa ibang mekaniko.

Considering all basic ATF...
- measuring while engine is running
- right ATF type
- ATF changed/new
- filters/strain/magnets cleaned

your Sedona has a kick-down cable right? try slacking it up to half and test it...

Kung 45k pa lang tinakbo, under warranty pa dapat yan (not unless the car is over 3 years old). Most manufacturers nowadays offer 100k/3 years warranty (whichever comes first), naman di ba?

I'm quite skeptical of shops who suggest an immediate overhaul of A/T systems. I have a bad experience kasi on this (pero buti na lang hindi ko kinagat), otherwise I would have been 32k poorer

yup. ive changed the atf. i used AC delco. still not improvement.

i assume the overdrive switch works cuz the indicator light lights up in the dash board.

our sedona is more that 3 years old. so wala na sa warranty.

will get a second opinion from another shop.

thanks
