Afternoon all,
I've got all my jobs to do this weekend to try and sort out the problem I have with the Gear Changes (Thread 47760). I have 10 ltrs of Dex II to do a full flush of the tranny fluid, and Oil and filter to do an oil change.
I've also been reading a lot of threads about the Diagnosis of faults, and so am also going to check and see if there is a fault with either of the solenoids. Am I right in saying a faulty solenoid could be causing the gears to not change at the correct rev's?
My main problem is the fact that I can't seem to get into Top gear. It should change at 50mph, but I took her up to 60mph and still no change. When the car changes gear it does feel like its being forced in. There is no mechanical gnashing or groaning, but the car does surge forward a bit when the change occurs. Could that be down to a faulty solenoid? Which one? And what is the fault code?
I really need to sort this out as I'm getting her ready to sell (don't tell her that though!).
Do I need to reset the readings before doing a fault diagnosis? once again tahnks for all of the helpful suggestions I've had so far. Keep em' coming! I think I would have spent £1000's on garage bills over the past few years if you guys weren't there to offer help and advice.
So, once more into the breech my friends and let's see if we can sort this!
Thanks
