Re: Auto trans gov. problems...

Shifting in the Delorean once underway in drive 3 is entirely 
controlled by the govenor computer assembly. If you do indeed have a 
shifting problem then that is where to go. There are some simple 
things to check first though. Fluid level and condition. Shift linkage 
adjustments. Throttle cable adjustments. The integerity of the wiring 
to and the downshift microswitch (if the wiring is burnt and grounds 
out it will force downshifts). Bad connections to the large plug on 
the firewall. Make sure that what you feeling is downshifts and not 
slipping, check the line pressure. If all of these things check out 
then you could have a bad shift computer. Installing the lights will 
only confirm that the shift computer is indeed shifting the trans and 
you already know that what you want to find out is why. A bad shift 
computer will tend to act up more when heated, sounds like bad solder 
joints and can be easily resoldered. Refer to the archives.
