Overdrive out, Brake light fading on

The OD went out on my SC tonite on my way home from Utah.

So I had to do 70Mph at 3000rpm for 200 miles. grrrr.

The strange thing:

As soon as I got off the freeway, and after accelerating (still in 3rd) from a red light, my "Brake" light faded on, then off. The car also seems to "stutter" a bit under heavy acceleration.

I think the acceleration misfiring might be due to the tranny, but the "Brake" Light?

No, the car was not "Stuttering/misfiring" before the OD clutches burned up.


Any ideas?
 
sometimes the brake light will come on during acceleration due to low fluid. mine does it then i fill it, then it leaks some brake fluid until it's low again. i give up!
 
70 MPH

if you were able to do 70mph, I dont think the OD band is gone I have lost 2 of them and the birds only do 45-50 at very high RPMS, anyway good news the link below will get you to ebay were I purchased a rebuild book and the master rebuild kit for $100, then laugh at the tranny man who wants $1050 for a benchtop rebuild in fact laugh at all of them with a 2000-2400 stall converter for $129 good to 500 hp, good luck and happy wrenching

Oh, I deffinitey lost OD. I had to shift it into "D".

While in the "OD" gate, the rpms would just climb, while speed declined.

I appreciate the link, ibew. But I've already ordered an Art Carr.

Thanks to all.
