I have a 98 100 series and the auto does not jump into overdrive when cold for about 4k's. Is this normal or am I looking at trouble soon :(

Sound Ok Most Autos Don't engage overdrive untill they get to operating temp.

G'day, the auto in your vehicle is working correctly.
The 80 and 100 series auto's will not select overdrive until the coolant temp reaches approx 55degrees (transmission fluid circulates through the radiator and a external cooler mounted behind the grill).
This is a factory setting and is mentioned in most workshop manuals.
Cheers, Don.
