ns87 Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Ok help me out. If this is a repost, just lemme know, couldn't find it on search. Cutlass Supreme 3t60, 3.1MPFI If I try to drive the car in any gear besides [D], the car will not "coast" at any speed. I could be going 24MPH and if I let off the gas, the car slows down as though it is stuck in a lower gear. If i hit the gas, I usually get a nice clunk.... In [D] its alright, so its no biggie, just curious.... I also know practically nothing about transmissions, so if this is rediculous, just be nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcrow Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 try to remove the 4 pin connector going to the transmission, that will disable the lock-up featutre of the torque converter. If this fixes it you need a TCC solenoid. You may also need to adjust/replace your TV cable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be something wrong with it, but I'd probably go to a trans shop and just have someone take it for a spin with you so you can see if there is actually anything going on there.

ns87 Posted November 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Jcrow: Thats a really good idea. I know on my Ciera, its pretty accesable. How's about on a Supreme? Justin: I understand what you are saying. I may just go to a trans shop. It deff isn't bc I'm in a lower gear. If its in [D] the car will coast and accelerate downhill. It WILL NOT do either if I individual put it in a lower gear. Side note, I noticed this when I would keep it in 2nd around 18-21MPH going uphill to stop that weird slip. I read its a factory defect somewhere? Any idea on that either. Whatever, its not the biggest deal. Everything is perfect if I'm in [D].

It's not just because you ARE in a lower gear, is it? the trans engages gears differently when the shifter is other gears becides "D" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
