TX5 Automatic Transmission
|
|
I have a Ford Telstra TX5 1989 (sorry it is not an '87) with electronically controlled automatic transmission (EC-AT) (G4A-EL).
The problem is there seems to be unnecssary kick down of the auto, possibly into a lower gear or a slip. This seems to happen regulary during city/suburban driving where there are speed humps and other traffic.
So it seems like that the accelerator is sensitive to slight movements of the foot, and causes the kick down and the revs to go up.
I have tried adjusting the pressure control cable for the auto but a guage is required to check the line pressure accurately.
There is also a Hold button on the auto selector so that the auto stays in the selected gear. This helps but it means you must change the gears manually.
