Just bought a 92 exploder. Took it out for a drive and there is no indication of a shift beween 3rd and overdrive. Can use shifter to shift and nothing happens at drive and overdrive. Rpms at 55 mph is about 2200-2300. Everything else shifts great. I have read that there is a shift silaniod that might be the problem but I thought that it would show up on the obd|| test. Or maybe somthing with the valve body. Just don't tell me I have to pull the crapmission.

Check the passenger side floor for wet/dampness. Common problem of the wet floor can lead to the computer on the passenger side getting soaked.

A soaked and heavily corroded computer in my case was the reason my OD wasn't working.

I drove my a4ld without a OD for close to 7 months before I put in another tranny. (The replacements OD didn't work either which is how I tracked it down to my eec-iv computer)

The fuel cost in those 7 months wasn't really all that much more. Running a 3k didn't seem to bother anything at highway speeds.
