>>>Fix it, THEN redo your speed tests.
I did fix this, thanks for the help. I removed the valve assembly then used
wd40 and a big screw driver (see my Help! post).
>>>BTW, if you have the pedal floored at 45 you should NOT expect the tranny
to shift.
If you mean because of the kick down, I understand. But I am not really
flooring it, just that the pedal is down quite a bit and the engine is at a
very high rpm.
I did some more test today and maybe the mechanic was not totally wrong.
I seem to start in 2nd gear and drive in 2nd only. I can down shift to 1st
but the car just slows (you feel the engine braking) but will not drive in
1st with the lever at 1, it still seems to drive in 2nd. So what it comes
down to is I don't know what gear I am in, it seems just too slow for 2nd
(after doing the tune up etc.) yet I can down shift. I'm lost.
