wow, so i'm not crazy ,,,it's not just me.......two days ago..well to start off...i have a 92 awd turbo,,,with a/t and two days ago, i was layin a lil beatin on a 2g awd turbo 5spd.well needless to say..sumthin didn't sound right with his car..so..still...go me right? well, i start to lay off and slow down from bout 120 and then come to a stoplight but i don't stop completely.
Then it happens. It kicks down just fine, so i proceed to gain speed and instead of going into 4th,,,it says...HEEELLLOOOO nuetral.
Well i usually drive it around with the overdrive pushed in...so it runs through all four gears,,unless i need the slower speeds or greater engine loads..then i'll put it back to 3rd (overdrive off) or whatever gear accordingly right....and i leave the power button on too...u know that nice lil but that holds the gears out longer...i don't use the economy much because i don't like the fact it runs through the gears so quickly
Anyway, i have the same pressure applied to the accel. pedal and yet the tranny's goin nuts shiftin through all the gears and then gets stuck in third. Even when i pulled to a complete stop and then started out again, it didn't kickdown it started out in third. I'm thinkin great wonderful....aghhh this sucks. the tranny fluid never smelt burnt or was discolored at all , but now has a slight smell to it out of the normal.
I drove it a lil the next day to kinda get a better idea on it and it shifts through 1st, 2nd, 3rd and back down just fine...i didn't "get on it" or anything but it still holds boost just fine so i've ruled out vacuum leaks....but as soon as i push that button in (o/d) to take it to 4th.....nope.it goes to nuetral. Or if i leave the button in to see if it'll go by itself...nope . again 1, 2, and 3 just fine but it's like 4th no longer exists for the tranny,,,it goes to nuetral. Oh and to the one person...it drops to nuetral around 45 or 35 because depending how wide you got your throttle/ gas pedal down...if your just normal drivin,,third usually likes to upshift around then. And if your problems the same as mine, when it wants to upshift from third,,it'll drop to nuetral.
I called a dealer and they said the auto. transaxle unit for our cars is discontinued..nobody makes it or remans. it. i'm gonna look at some junkyards...im just tryin the whole process of elimination ..mechanical or electrical or both, but...... i don't think it's the tranny comp. because technically, it's still doin it's job....when the o/d switch is engaged the computer reads it as so, but instead tranny goes to nuet. instead of 4th...
if anybody has had some progress or success in fixing this problem will you let me know?? PLEAASSSEE. till then i'll post what i find out. i didn't plan on messing with this tranny right now,, but what can u do?...it pulls for the drivetrain it has,,i wanted to buy a manual. 1g,,,but i wasn't really lookin to swap this auto for a manual...too much engine work goin on,,,but thanks for the help.
