Tranny
 

I have a My tranny up/down shifts at random, especially between 30-60MPH 50-100 km/h....any ideas?

Re: Tranny
 

??? could pls elaborate more ???

yea, the idea is save some money for a new tranny, the tranny brake band might be slipping. It can be adjusted but its a temp fix.
Im speaking of experience.....I have a SVX with a dead tranny right now.

it's possible that the dropping resistor is disconnected or has failed. Can't say I have any idea why, but it seems to cause gear hunting between 3rd & 4th on some transmissions

It has an updated tranny, done by a dealer about 6 yrs ago...it seems to get worse with the cold weather, it gets a little better when tranny is warm. Where would the dropping resistor be, and how can I test/check it. The car sat for about 9 months, I was told the problem was not there before...

It's located on the inner fenderwell by the battery...

i dont mean to jack your thread, but does anyone know of a source for 4.11 4eats? Is there a place online that sells them? I think my tranny is about to go also, i wish it would just hurry up so i can stop worrying about it. Thanks:)

besides a junkyard.;)

I would check out your TPS. If it's sending erratic readings it can confuse your tranny into thinking you just floored it even though you didn't move the gas pedal.

I checked the dropping resistor, it's connected...but how do I check if it's not defective?...I'm going to my mechanic on Tues. as I don't know how to check or where to look for the items suggested. I'll bring a sugestion List with me... Unless someone can suggest things I can check myself....

Do you usually drive in 'D' or '3'?

If it turns out you need another resistor I'll sell you mine so you don't have to worry about duties/taxes coming across the border.
