my auto box is slow in changing gear and if i boot it it hits the limiter for a second and then changes, could it have something to do with the exhaust being 4.5" and 5" exit so no back pressure? i topped up the a/t fluid yesterday and it took about 2 pints and there is a slight improvement. any help much appreciated cheers.

could be lots of things, have a search for autobox problems on here you'll find lots have had similar problems, usual recommendations is to change the oil and clean the strainer, you can do diagnostics have a look in the faq section also.

will do cheers m8

i have the same problems mate. mine also kicks down with very little throttle.

 

im sorting it by a manual conversion but id still like to know

mine kicks down ok.

think ill try the diagnosis if i can work it out lol it sound confusing

its not hard just write it down on paper and do it as you read it. unfortunatly mine was ok

wont be your exhaust mate...i had no exhaust on mine for several weeks a while back and it drove fine...if a little noisy :D

 

worth doing diagnostic first and then changing your gearbox fluid

does it do the same if you select power mode?

ill try it in power and see.

the light that it says is for the diagnosis is the o/d light on mine so what light will flash?

Sounds most likely to be the TPS (throttle Position Sensor). If not set up correctly can cause bad gearchages on the auto box.

 

Here is the how to guide to set it up. Well worth the first thing to try and is free and takes 10 min.
