hi all, bought my first zed!!..its an imported n/a fairlady, beautiful car, solid, lovely engine, but i have a strange problem with o/d.....my box changes up and down fine, kicks down, holds the gears, no untoward noises..or smells!!!...but when i engage overdrive, it does engage, but if i lift off, even momentarily..it drops a gear.....it will hold overdrive with cruise on no problem at all...this is a frustrating problem on twistier roads!!...any advice greatl appreciated as its spoiling a lovely car..

bottled it..sold it on today for £200 profit..but iv got the bug now..gonna look for a turbo manual....

well that sorted that problem:lol:

Just a point...

 

Were you selecting overdrive manually.... if so How ?

 

That could be the problem

That would be the torque converter locking giving you direct drive and when you lift off the gas unlocking so there,s no engine braking , just FYI seeing as you sold it , lol .

it didnt feel right mate....engaging o/d with button on stick....would drop out of o/d at the slightest lift off and yup, you did have engine breaking..which was unnerving....i will have another though, lovely to drive, nice handling and loads of prescence..on my future 'to get' list...i bought this one just cos it was there to be fair, i'd really want a manual next time...
