i'm having some issues with my VT series 1 s pack and think it could be my auto trans:
- struggles to kick down a gear while cruising on a highway from 4th back to third when i put my foot down, it skips, makes a nice thumping sound and jerks the car forward and doesnt actually kick down (i have to manually do it with the gear selector in the console)
- sometimes makes the car hesitate when taking off with a bit of speed (such as pulling into traffic off a side street), usually when i dont come to a complete stop at a give way sign, but also happens if i want to take off quickly, it hesitates for a second then rev's really hard...
so my question is:
is it a TPS? i changed my original one to a TPS from the wreckers off a VS and it seems to help with the taking off and kicking down gears EXCEPT for going from 4th to 3rd
how much roughly is it for a transmission to be serviced?
how much roughly for a new transmission?
and can a transmission from a VS fit into a VT?
cheers
