yeh like it will go to change from say second to third and hit the rev limiter. or sometimes i put my foot down and the powers coming from the engine but doesnt seem to be reaching the wheels.

haha yeh thought that might be the response yeh its topped up behaves fine, just doesnt feel like the powers going down at times and on hard acceration it hits the limiter afew times before changing up.

Depends how bad!-all auto's do it!-the ecu backs off when gunning to 'soften' the change,gives a slipping feel.Any doubts,get it to an autobox specialist so they can Stall test etc..............

Is the 'Power' light on when this happens?-should be.

Mine hits the limiter if I gun it,then changes so you could be O.K:whistling:

it behaves fine i spose just wanted to know if its normal. if i lock it in 2nd and plant it it goes warp speed. and the same if im rolling and slowly depress teh accelerator but if i dump it from 2k revs in say third shit all happens for a fair while

torque converter not locking up might as well get a manual conversion for the hassle

Might be worth draining the fluid and refilling the box with fresh. Could be that one of the valves is a bit blocked with residual crap from normal wear and tear and if it's never been changed then that is a cheap first option

 

Hve a word with Jeff at Zedworld cos he'll make the best recommendation
