Hey guy's
Recently bought a v8 auto and have been tidying some stuff up on it. Among other stuff it had a trans service which I guess was just filter and fluid. Fluid is clean and at the right level. Speedo says just under 200K but who knows these days.
Anyhow, the trans seems to work ok with normal (light throttle) driving, torque converter lock up seems ok as well, when you slow for roundabouts and such it behaves as you would expect.
But when you floor it from 3rd to kick back to 2nd, well it virtualy revs to the redline, like pushing a clutch in, then it will pick up 2nd gear and boom, away we go! sounds exciting aye, but really it's crap! 4th back to 3rd seems normal ? Seems to upchange ok through the gears when you go from a standstill, only seems a problem on kickdown.
Really hoping one of you guru's can give me a real good idea if it sounds simple or if trans is dying.
Cheers
