trans problem ?
sometimes on my '92 svx while driving about 60 mph trans will shift back & forth from what I believe is 3 to 4 gear. maybe convertor clutch lock up if it even has one ?. doesn't do it very often but sure messes up fun drive ! engine goes from 3k rpm to 2200 rpm frequently, trans is supposed to have about 10 k on it, anyone know what to do ? thanks for any help, I drive it 700 to 800 miles per week

The band is slipping because either, it needs to to adjusted properly or the oil line pressure is low. I would have a guess and go for the band adjustment, if the trans is only 10k old. Edit: Seeing that it is at the cruise speed 60k, it may be the throttle position sensor that has a bad spot. Harvey.

Re: trans problem ?
Before adjusting the brake band I would verify the tps is properly adjusted. It easy and quick. Having one adjusted out of spec can cause gear hunting.

Re: trans problem ?
Blimey, at £6.50 a gallon I wish I could afford to do 40,000 miles a year! With your fault being intermittent I would plump for a tps too. As a skinflint you might try marking it's position before taking it off and tapping it. Not a permanent cure but if it sorts it you know what to buy.

Re: trans problem ?
I'll vouch for TPS acting up causing it. and I say that because its happened to me. When I first got my baby, it was damn near undriveable, I fixed the driveability issues to find that it would not hold a gear above 55ish. Threw a TPS off a legacy on there, problem solved
If it was doing the slip/rev EVERY time, I'd tell you to start worrying, but I'm almost positive you just have an electrical issue

Re: trans problem ?
Replacing the TPS cured gear-hunting and AWD binding for me. I've always figured the P.O. was looking to unload the car because he figured the transmission was shot. I'm SO glad I gambled 180 bucks before heading to a transmission repair shop.

Re: trans problem ?
Hey, just wanted to say thanks for all the help, I swapped tps with my parts car and I cannot believe the difference it makes. The svx runs positively perfect, thanks again to everyone for the help

Re: trans problem ?
Sorry to be naive but, Where is the TPS and how do you adjust it?
Also, where is the brake band and how do you adjust it? Update: I found the info in the "How to" section. Last edited by dannmarr; 04-09-2011 at 08:22 PM. |
