That is called the OVERDRIVE OFF and yes it will affect you transmission. The overdrive is your highest gear, used for highway cruising and will promote the best fuel economy. You have an Overdrive switch in the vehicle. It is either on the shifter knob or on the center console/dash. It allows you to disable the overdrive if you desire. It sounds like you turned it off unwittingly.

OD LIGHT THERE IS A BUTTON TO TURN IT OFF OR ON SOMEWHERE ON THE DASH OR CONSOLE, IT MEANS YOU CAR IS IN OVERDRIVE , OK IF YOU PUCH THE BUTTON FOR OVERDRIVE ADND THE LIGHT DOES NOT SHUT OFF PROBABLY A BAD SENSOR ON THE ****** ITSELF, AMYBE A SHORTRD WIRE TO THE OD ON THE TRANS

If it's something electrical you can try to reset the computer in in and see if that works. I do this by disconnecting the battery for about an hour and my cars are reset. Good Luck.

Your O/D relay is failing. The transmission is staying in lower gears and not able to switch into overdrive, this is controlled electrically. The relay is behind the ashtray in behind the ashtray holder, on the right. It is clarified as far as numerical order and function on the legend plate on the ashtray cover.

The button itself may be bad. If the button is ok, then the problem could be in the transmission control module located behind the dash or worse, it could be an internal problem with the transmission itself. I would start small by checking or replacing the panel that includes the overdrive button. The easiest and cheapest place to get one is a salvage or junk yard. If this doesn't solve the problem then it is best to take your Jeep to certified mechanic. When it comes to the Grand Cherokee, they used around 5 or 6 different transmissions and several different transmission control modules. I wouldn't recommend the do-it-yourself guy try working on those systems. I Just recently replaced the transmission in my 93 Cherokee and finding a used one that was actually the right model was like looking for a needle in a haystack

There isn't anything wrong with your car. This is perfectly normal. I have a 2000 ES300 as well as other people that I know and it operates in the same way. Overdrive doesn't mean the same thing for every car or transmission. In our case overdrive is simply a reference to the top gear which is 4th gear. When you switch overdrive off(which is depressing the button causing the O/D OFF dash light to illuminate,) the highest gear becomes 3rd because you turned 4th gear or overdrive off. The application scenario for this is usually mountainous terrain where a lot of uphill driving makes it more feasible not to up shift into 4th gear while ascending and descending. It will not switch back to overdrive or 4th gear until you re-engage it by turning the overdrive back on or repressing the button. Again, when the O/D OFF dash light is illuminated, overdrive which is 4th gear is off and the highest gear will then become 3rd. It will never shift into 4th gear while this light is illuminated or overdrive is off. When you press the button and the O/D OFF dash light is NOT illuminated overdrive is on and therefore it will shift into 4th gear as usual. This applies to all 97-2001 ES300's and probably any other car you drive tat exhibits this same type of change when overdrive is turned off.

There is a small button on the gear shifter. This is the OverDrive switch. When the button is depressed "IN", the overdrive system is active, and the light on the dash is off. When the button is OUT, the overdrive system is de-activated, and the light on the dash is illuminated. The OverDrive is basically the final shift of the transmission, which gives you maximum fuel economy. When the light on the dash is ON, the OD is "OFF", the transmission will not make its final shift, and will lower your fuel economy. It is best to leave the button IN, and have the OD system active. Hope this helps, and Thanks for Choosing FixYa. The graciousness of a "FixYa" rating for my solution would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for allowing me to help you with your issue.
