Problem coming to work this morning.

 

Was about 2 miles from work in my Auto Short Wheel Base TT. Accelerated up a hill but at about 85 mph she wouldnt drop to third. She stayed at 7000 rpm until i took my foot of the gas.

 

I had to drive to work by accelerating to 80 put her into neutral freewheel as far as possible and acceleerate again.

 

This happened once back in March. I pulled over, turned off the ignition waited a couple of mins and problem was gone.

 

Unfortunately I just took her out for a check during lunch (4 hrs later) and problem still there

 

Any ideas. Any solutions by 5 pm??????

 

Putting the box to hold or power dosent seem to help.

Mine was doing this until I got off the gas and then went into the next gear, wierd!

 

I changed the Speed sensor (well JeffTT did) and the Throttle Position Sensor and the problem of lumpy power steering and holding gears has vanished, am also having the gearbox flushed sometime this week.

 

You may have a different problem but changing the Speed sensor and Throttle position sensor cured my problem.

------------------

Its probably worth waggling the connector on the gearbox computer just incase its a bad connector to the solenoids.

 

(The computer's the bottom left one behind the wooden panel in the passenger footwell)

 

Good luck

 

 

I'm with Matty on this one

 

Also, this could be a symptom of the speed convertor not doing its job properly... Is it a Jap import???

 

CheerZ,
