Haha laning sounds like the best idea then - for now at least

Sounds like a plan Chris I'd be up for that. My truck's pretty standard though apart from tyres so nothing too extreme for starters :oops: Gearbox behaved pretty well on way home this morning so fingers crossed...

I'm in Edwinstowe Chris. Got the tyres from Mick's Tyres in Mansfield - Cooper Discoverer STT 285 75 16 £126 each fully fitted. Can't grumble at that. After reading what you put about the low range I've just had a drive round the site at work (work nights for Severn Trent) first in low range...

Haha no not in low range. What's the pin 7 mod? I downloaded the service manual for the A442F and now that you mention it I remember seeing something about using a multimeter on the connections in the footwell - I'll have another look. Didn't just change the ATF - did the diffs (took an angle...

Well, I managed to fit the new cable. Not too difficult - the hard part was trying to remove the old one. I gave up in the end and just cut as much off from each end as I could reach. Unfortunately it hasn't cured the problem of my 80 holding on to first gear until around 2600rpm. I wonder if...

Sorry, my mistake - that was Jon Wildsmith (a very interesting read too, thanks Jon)

Thanks Chris that's a big help. Did I see on another thread that you fitted an Extreme valve body from Wholesale Automatics? ...and yes - cable was £80 from Ron Brooks Toyota, Mansfield. Should get it all done this weekend hopefully along with a backlog of other jobs. I'll post back how I get...

Kickstarting an old thread here I know, but does the throttle cable attach/clip to the top of the tranny anywhere else apart from the plastic tube through which it enters? I'm just wondering why the service manual says to remove the propshaft and valve body, then lower the tranny using a jack...

Front & rear diffs drained (oil like new in rear despite not being changed in last 10 years...different story up front - grey sludge). Now realise I should've tried to free the fill plugs first, which are as good as welded in. Auto box drained, pan and filter removed. New throttle cable ordered...

I know it's an old thread, but my '94 has done the same thing since I bought it in 2005. That particular quirk never seemed to get any worse, but mine has developed a few other issues which I'm in the middle of trying to sort out - enjoying a few ATF showers. Just ordered a new throttle cable...
