I can only comment re my experience with the O/D in the sedan.

Question, I assume that the switch in the top of the gear stick works OK.

I ask this because, when ever my O/D stops, the first thing I do is pull the switch apart and clean it out, and all is OK.

Like my O/D has down 320,000 Kilo's and that is all that happens to it.
