Looks like more than one person agrees with me about the buttons - #9 20-03-2009, 09:24 PM

Thanked 2 Times in 2 PostsI tried playing around with the A/T button on my way home. It seems to have three switch positions. Hold inbetween and power. None seemed to make any difference. Does this mean its not working?

Thanks for the replies!
I dont think plug leads have been changed at all!! Any idea how much the are??

I wil also check out the cat as well. I havent heard any rattling as yet though.

Slightly off topic. The power/hold button (its auto) dosent seem to do anythin at all. It lights up and thats bout it. No higher revving, nothing? Any idea what that could be??

Cheers Frank

Not how they should drive, but you hit the two obvious ones (overdrive button and E/AT button). Seems a bit odd as when I hit the E/AT to power, I barely have to touch the pedal for it to kick back a gear ...

Sorry mate - not sure on this one, but no doubt someone else may have a solution or recommendation.

BigRig, what year is your truck ? I only ask because i rang a 4X specialist place today and the guy who i spoke to (seemed very knowledgable) said that every GU auto he has driven acts the same as mine. He said you really have to kick the pedal to the floor if you want it to change back a gear and he went on to say that he believes the gearing in the boxes aren't spaced correctly. He then said it's not a problem, just an annoyance ??

Hi Peter, I have the same GU as you, and it drives the same.. I just drive it like a manual..
( Bigrig has a GQ)

Thanks katwoman, so you have to kick yours to the floor to make it change down a gear ??

yeah..Have played with power button, doesnt seem to do much..
Although I have gone from an XR6 to the Katrol, so maybe it's just my driving style.

Well that's at least one problem i can put to rest. Thanks katwoman, love the name, it brings back memorys of watching Batman when i was a kid and admiring katwoman as only a teenager can, lol.
