The time has come to rebuild my overdrive. Last year I had issues with it randomly disengaging, which turned out to be faulty wiring. I also replaced the relay for good measure. Now after being in overdrive for ~5-10 min it kicks out and drops to 4th gear. The "5th Gear" light stays lit. If I disengage the OD then re-engage, it will stay in 5th for about 10 seconds before popping out again.
If I'm in 4th gear, I always get the OD to engage and hear the relay click, so the 4th gear switch is working correctly. OD does not engage when in any other gear.
I checked the fluid level, which was ~1/2qt low, and topped it off. But the problem still persists. I'm assuming OD is unable to maintain pressure and needs new o-rings and seals.
The unit needs new gaskets anyways to stop the leaks, so I figure while it's out I might as well service the entire thing. I was looking at getting this kit: https://www.ipdusa.com/products/7348/115283-overdrive-mini-kit
Is there any information I should know before tearing into this thing? Thanks!
