overdrive questions....

[crookedmile]

Hi to all!

Well, i was reading some of the posts about overdrive and the effect on the auto tranny...i have a 93 fastback, and since this is my first car i have one question for u guys... how do i know if the car is making all the changes, i mean, could someone tell me at what speeds the transmission must make it's changes??? at what speed the overdrive kicks in??? that's because i only nottice 3 changes, with od on...is there another way to know if the od is working??? car diagnostics maybe??


Another thing...perhaps someone has the same problem with the auto tranny: when i start driving, i nottice the tranny somewhat sluggish (a harsh pull) when it makes the change to second gear, this lasts a few minutes (when i make a stop and then go) and then it makes the change very smoothly...is this normal???? if not, what can i do to fix it???


Thanks so much, hope u can help.
