Re: 3rd and 4th gear are not engaging + weird smell
Hello Harvey,
1) Ouch! are you 100% sure? So, if I can shift to 1st, 2nd and R, I can safely exclude solenoid A option?
It's hard for me to believe this, as first 500 miles, the tranny was absolutely OK - nicely shifting in all 4 gears. No clutch slipping.
Only thing worth mentioning, is that it had that weird smell from the beginning - which we thought was from fresh exhaust paint. And that, if I was driving uphill, at let's say 40-60 mph, tranny was struggling a bit to shift from 3rd to 4th gear.
Back then, I had a feeling, it is mainly about getting used to and understand the car's TCU.
2) If I understand it correctly, with the 4.44 in, the car will be faster and more durable, but - and that is more important to me - will shift changes still be as gentle and imperceptible as they are in the 3.54? Also will the stock 3.54 Economy mode operate properly?
If there is one thing, the stock 3.54 is really doing ine. It is creating the illusion that you are not driving car, but piloting a plane.
Thank you,
Filip
