It figures!!!!!! I get my air fixed and the same day my tranny goes ape shit. :banghead: Here it is
It holds gears! Like a stuck throttle valve (TV) but the motion is totally unobstructed and it is still functioning but it definately feels like the tranny is building excess pressure. It holds first gear till redline, sometimes past, it's annoying as hell, I have to get on it and let off or shift it into D2.
BUT MY SHIT PULLS like someone stuck a STAGE 8 torque converter in there while I wasn't looking, accelleration is harder and faster but not because of the gears and the revving, it's the pressure or something.
It also holds forever shifting in all gears, and I can't put it in neutral to drop the pressure and put it back in gear cuz it goes right back to the same gear. It also has erratic pressure on decelleration and it also holds the gear sometimes even when you push the gas (sounds like when you punch it in a stickshift car) so I think it has some fucked up valving like to the torque converter lockup or a really bad clog
oh and when you first start it now and put it in reverse it feels like it's hunting for like 1/2 a second then it makes a mild grind/clackclack sound (not the typical "chaaack" sound it always makes when changing from reverse to neutral) but it reverses just fine. And it only does it this when you first start it. It makes no abnormal noises while driving either, it's like someone is holding the tv cable up
I changed the fluid, looks like I'm going to have to try a tranny flush or finally get a 5-speed
Can anybody figure this out? Did anybody read this far? :sadwave:
