What causes a car to neutral on 3-4 shift?
When this neutral flair or neutral condition occurs while driving down the road, there is an overdrive cancel button that can cause the transmission to go back into gear and confirms that the transmission really did neutral on the 3-4 shift. Generally what causes this is when the band does not apply, but the forward clutch releases.
Why is my 4R70W neutrals not overdrive band?
Had the snap ring shattered the servo piston would have fallen out when we removed the valve body.Upon thorough examination of the valve body we found that one of the broken end pieces of the snap ring passed through an opening below the servo piston and into the valve body, jamming the servo regulator valve.
What does overdrive mean in a manual transmission?
Overdrive is an actual gear within manual and automatic transmission systems. In manual systems, overdrive is usually the fifth gear, while automatic systems show a “D” enclosed in a circle as the extra gear.
Why is my overdrive band stuck on my transmission?
The two most likely possibilities are an overdrive band problem, or a stuck 3-4 shift valve. If the overdrive band is worn, when the transmission shifts into overdrive it will neutral out and start to rev freely, but not accelerate the vehicle. If the servo that applies the band is stuck or has badly damaged seals the symptoms will be the same.

If the overdrive band is worn, when the transmission shifts into overdrive it will neutral out and start to rev freely, but not accelerate the vehicle.
How often does the E4OD transmission neutral out?
My E4OD transmission neutrals out intermittently in Overdrive and 4th gear. It seems to be very erratic, sometimes you can make a 300 mile trip witout any problems, and other times it will neutral out 3 or 4 times on a 10 mile trip. When the problem is not present it works perfectly.
What to do if your overdrive band has fallen out?
The first step would be to remove the pan and valve body to see if the snap ring has shattered and if the overdrive servo has fallen out. Upon removal of the pan and valve body we have found that the small end pieces of the snap ring have broken off; however, enough of the snap ring remained to hold the overdrive servo in place (shown above).
