- Very thirsty VT & VH project under way! YAY!!
Gurus,
Not long had my 1983 VH 202 auto and i've noticed that sometimes, going around corners (mostly left) the gearbox will momentarily slip out of gear then back in again. As far as I know the car hasn't been in any accidents and the selector isn't moving or slipping around the corners. It just feels and sounds like it's momentarily slipping into neutral then back into gear with a little chirp of the tires, a reasonable jolt in the back end and a little stain on the seat covers (only the first time though).
I'm not flogging it around corners, particularly now, and this car is destined to be my daily driver.
Has anyone else heard of this before? Any valves / pressure sensors likely to be affected by lateral G's? Obviously it'll end up at a transmission place but I wouldn't mind learning about it a little more first.
Thanks,
Lewie.
