mdelorie Posted September 26, 2006 Report Posted September 26, 2006 Scenario: Driving on the highway about 75 or 80 km/h. Transmission in overdrive. Then open throttle full-wide. The transmission SHOULD (used to), shift down into third, and then if I continue to open the the throttle, go all the way down into second. Second tops out at about 120 km/h, but even if the throttle if full open, it'll only kick down as far as third. TV Cable needs adjustment? Quote
Brian P Posted September 26, 2006 Report Posted September 26, 2006 It might, at least it's an easy place to start. It's a little tough to get to the "reset" button but follow the cable to a housing behind the engine, and look for an off-white button. You have to push this HARD (I think I used a 3/8 extension to reach it and push down on) then push the black cable sheathing inwards. You'll feel it go in. Then release the button, and open the throttle to maximum with your hand (engine off!) you'll hear it clicking (locking into place). Quote
ns87 Posted September 26, 2006 Report Posted September 26, 2006 open the throttle to maximum with your hand (engine off!) you'll hear it clicking (locking into place). LOL Just out of curiousity, does your transmission shift normally otherwise? Quote
mdelorie Posted September 27, 2006 Author Report Posted September 27, 2006 It seems to shift normally. I recently put in some FFP torque struts so if anything it seems to shift more crisply than it did before. I can downshift manually, of course, and it seems to behave. Quote
GP1138 Posted September 27, 2006 Report Posted September 27, 2006 DON'T MANUALLY SHIFT AN AUTO TRANNY!!!!!!!!!!!! Why? It doesn't hurt anything, we've been through this before. Quote
z284pwr Posted September 27, 2006 Report Posted September 27, 2006 DON'T MANUALLY SHIFT AN AUTO TRANNY!!!!!!!!!!!! Umm, if they weren't supposed to be able to be shifted manually then they wouldn't design the shifter to be able to.... Quote
mdelorie Posted September 28, 2006 Author Report Posted September 28, 2006 DON'T MANUALLY SHIFT AN AUTO TRANNY!!!!!!!!!!!! Agreed. What's that all about? it's pretty much a necessity living in a mountainous area like BC. Otherwise, you'd destroy a set of brakes every year. Can't say as that I've ever heard of anyone having a transmission problem from manually down-shifting anyways. Quote
