No Overdrive 47RE Help Needed
2001 CTD Auto 47RE trans. Shifted great this morning. Went to lunch and On the way home the trans wouldnt shift into OD. All other gears are shifting normally but no OD. I heard the Shift Solenoids are prone to going bad but I dont know which solenoid I should be checking. I have another spare transmission that has new electronics in it so changing the parts is no big deal, just need to know what parts will need changed!
I appreciate any help you can provide!

Transmission fluid temperature readings are supplied to the transmission control module by the thermistor. The temperature readings are used to control engagement of the fourth gear overdrive clutch, the converter clutch, and governor pressure. Normal resistance value for the thermistor at room temperature is approximately 2000 ohms.
