    We have a 94 940 Volvo wagon with auto transmission with electric
    overdrive. Now the car will not shift to overdrive and will go only
    arond 40 mph and seems like it is stuck in some gear. We are on a
    fixed income and can't afford to hie someone to fix it. Anyone have
    any ideas on how to solve this problem myself. I have worked on older
    cars but this one's got me. Thanks for any help. Alan

    Even without overdrive, you should be able to get up to 80+ mph without
    hitting the redline, your fuel consumption will be much higher though.

    Is the yellow arrow lit on the dash? Does it shift normally through the
    first three gears?
