hello all.
hoping someone may recognise this problem and be able to point me in the right direction.
(surf 3.0L. 2nd gen).
auto box started to change down early as if overdrive button de activated.
increasingly reluctant to change up. in the end it didn't.
found that whilst driving at 50/55mph at 2500 waiting for overdrive to arrive
if i engaged ECT button it dropped in straight away.
(had to leave it engaged or it dropped out again).
this effect has now faded away too.
(mechanic friend recommended adjusting cable next to throttle cable on engine. this seems to only govern kick down?)
g.box fluid level is o.k. (though hands up, i didn't realise level had to be taken with engine running, for a few months. oops.)
checked all g.box electrical connections were in good condition.
(could be coincidence but it worked o.k. after this for several hours).
i tow a trailer quite often.
any suggestions, (including competitively priced manual gearbox's),
would really be appreciated.
Thanks.
