Re: [T3] Auto Transmission


Jason,

I had this same problem. In my case car would not go into reverse or 3rd, 50
mph was the ceiling. If you look at Bently in the AT section it has symptoms
and possible conditions. Mine fit the exact case for a bad gear, it forget
now which one. Just having bought the car, I had it rebuilt. If you do this
remember to have them adjust the shift points.

I should have thought of that before.  I just took the sellers word for the
running condition of the engine.  I will do the tune up first then move to
the Tranny.  Thanks, Russ.
