Hi All
I post very little as my truck behaves very well (normally) but it is having autobox problems. I have read the relevant threads on this site and have had both 1st & 2nd shift solenoids replaced and the valve body checked but problem persists. This being the physical sensation of the throttle being obstructed as though the rubber floor mat was jammed under it & preventing it from being fully depressed, plus 1st to 2nd changes erratic and rough. The work has been carried out by a pro auto transmissions firm with a good rep but they are scratching their heads on this one. Note that the truck is a 96 4.5 petrol with the A442F box.
The throttle position and kick down sensors have been electronically tested and I have been told that they are both showing the right amperage's etc, also there is no stretch on the throttle cable. When in P or D the throttle and revving is smooth as silk so it has to be the box but what the bloody hell is it.
Now I know that there are some veritable geniuses on here so your input would be greatly appreciated.
I have been gradually getting the truck to where I want it mechanically and cosmetically so when/if this is sorted I weill get some pics together and post them.
Thanks in advance, I hope.
