Just read;
I think the wiring for keeping the car in POWER mode is pretty simple. Before I bought mine, I read about in in the FAQ.
I take it that the FAQ's are in Technical Q & A ?, I'm, still reading them but haven't found that bit yet but it sounds interesting.
I'm beginning to think I may still have a problem with my box in that I can't seem to notice the torque converter going into lockup mode (granted after a full overhaul it should be imperceptible) but what I do notice is that the moment I back off the accelerator, the tacho drops almost to idle and the car just coasts with no attempt to decelerate, is this normal

OK, that's enogh for tonight, need more sleep

The FAQ that I referred to was Terry Maclane's, see:

Lots of good info for you.

Paddles is PaddlesNZ, see the post above yours. He is based in Gunma, the home of our SVX, and has a wealth of knowledge about the cars and the markets.

You do have a gearbox problem, mine used to do that before I got it refurbished. I suspect some of your clutches are seized, but possibly it could be that some of the valves are sticking/damaged, and not bringing the over-run clutch into play.

Harvey, if he reads this, can probably give you a good diagnosis on what is happening inside the slushbox for this to happen.
