Rebuilt tranmission - third gear issues..
Hi all my SVX friends!
May I ask a question?
I have just had my transmission rebuilt. VTD 4EAT Australian delivered SVX 1992.
First, second and fourth are fine, but third is behaving strangely.
It does not seem to fully 'lock' into third....The other gears including 4th all offer immediate response to throttle input, but 3rd 'feels' like its slipping, although a check of the gearbox oil tells me and the transmission specialist that it is not burning oil or destroying itself.
I just installed Harvey's 'QUICK CHANGE' unit today also. It certainly has improved throttle response as well as making the shift from 1st to 2nd "orgasmic".
But third is still weird. The transmission specialist that rebuilt the box has offered to take it back out and check inside.
He doesn't seem to think it is electronic, as the QC kit has firmed everything else up.
Any ideas?
The transmission guy, Barry, said he may be able to increase oil pressure to 3rd gear.
Again, both him and I are seeking opinions for SVX VTD 4EAT gurus!!!
Thanking you in advance,
Mike
