Out of all the gears the o/d is the highest gear in an automatic transmission. The overdrive function reduces the engine’s revolutions per minute (RPM) down to a certain speed to aid in acceleration and make the vehicle more fuel-efficient.

Vehicle Will Not Start After Replacing Transmission

 No Start After Transmission Replaced No Starting Issues & Transmission Problems Q: Dropped  transmission on Jeep Cherokee to replace the oil seals that were leaking badly.

A: If it cranks over good but will not run I’d be looking at the crankshaft position sensor. The crankshaft position sensor is mounted in the bell housing of the transmission. The sensor is mainly plastic with very, very small wires inside. If it is hit, the engine is a no go. The quickest test is with a scan tool. With the scan tool connected to the computer go the crankshaft signal screen and crank the engine over. The computer will say yes for a crankshaft signal and no if there is not one. If no signal, a replacement sensor is likely needed.
