we have a 91 lx vert... has 90000 orig miles and its going to be my little brothers first car. he hasnt started driving quite yet and i am DDin the car for a month or two and got to tune her up and etc and just get some road miles on her.
the engine runs and drives great but the AOD seems to wait a long time to shift.
it can go to like 3k before it ever shifts just with light throttle normal driving. my mustang used to be AOD so i sort of have an idea of when they are supposed to shift. if its past that point and you let off the gas it will go ahead and shift. the shift also feels slightly crisper than normal, usually just in the 1-2 shift.
also i cant get the car to shift into OD at all. i duno if the OD is smoked or what.
under WOT the car will shift at the correct spot, around 5k etc...no problems there.
and codes have been scanned and nothing showed up relating to the transmission
we know the previous owners of the car and they said it acted like that the 7+years they owned the car and never had any problems. and that someone told them that the car may have had a shift kit installed ( dont see why it would, its a boner stock car except for cheap mufflers and stainless tips) plus it just doesnt seem like a shift kit to me
fluid is good and filter was changed a while back.
i was thinking the valve body gasket could be leaking?? would that cause OD to not work or is it just toast??
i'm not automatic man so i need your guys' help, give me some ideas
thanks!
