anything? thank you

Answer
Pao, yes there is an overdrive..  Push the button on your shifter and see if the arrow comes on.  Then carefully listen when the car isnt running but the key is in the number 2 position and see if you can hear a clicking sound on the transmission.  If not, then the solonoid is bad.  If after you replace the solonoid and it still doesnt shift into high gear then there is an internal problem inside the transmission.  Roger
