Re: [doc] Auto transmission

["Richard Hanlon" <rahanlon@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Paul/ list,

When I first got mine, the governor was offically buggered, shifts were all 
over the place and totally unpredictable.  It's now totally re-wired (very 
professionally, and by a member of this list) and fully functional.  Very 
occasionally since though, I've had the opposite problem to you - D=3rd, so 
you have to got to Position 2 for 1st and 2nd speed, then shift up to D for 
third.  This problem contuniues for about seven or eight miles at a stretch, 
and always from cold, and then sorts itself out.

I know my governor circuit is fine, fluids are all new, and no leaks.  Wierd 
one, but it happens so infrequently it's liveable with.  Your situation may 
be different though, if i'll only go as far as 2nd.

Again, doesn't really help you particularly!  But you're not alone with 
occasional A/T wierdness.

Good luck,
Rich Hanlon
