Re: 3rd and 4th gear are not engaging + weird smell
Quote:
you must accept that repair shops are not interested in locating a problem when they can pursuade prospective customers to spend big money on a complete transmission rebuild and this fact has been the undoing of the SVX throughout its history. Common sense dictates that the cause off a problem must be located before a repair is attempted. In this case it is logical to suspect a lack of line pressure, however this must be proven before proceeding with work which could be in the wrong direction thus waisting energy, time and importantly money. The "A" solenoid can be replaced by dropping the transmission oil pane and removing the valve body, but although much simpler than removing the complete transmission, quite a lot of work is involved. Having done so you still can not be absolutely sure that you are going to fix your problem. Surely it makes sense to first locate what is causing the problem and. then proceed knowing what you are doing. You can make up a pressure gauge in less time than it will take you to remove the oil pan, much. less the valve body. I will come back with when I locate instructions which I have previously written up. I note that you are using the car, but carefully. I trust and presume that you are not getting any sort of smell, as this would indicate that clutches are slipping and can detect if any slip is occurring while you drive. Otherwise you will be wearing things out and a complete rebuild will become essential. :-( Meantime do't panic. LOL
