| Description of the problem | Dt*: the contact stated the vehicle's engine bogged down prior to the engagement of the passing gear while driving various speeds on a 2 lane highway. The contact depressed the accelerator to the floorboard while attempting to pass a vehicle, but there was a loss of power, along with a 2 second delay prior to the passing gear activation. The problem occurred only during acceleration and in overdrive. When out of overdrive, the passing gear activated instantly in 3rd gear.
