hi everyone
ive just registered to this website, i think it could come in handy.
my gq patrol has an auto gearbox.
usually on freeway or over about 80km/hr the engine revs drop a little and it takes an extra gear, but recently it stopped doing that.
now the revs stay high and to push 100km/hr on freeway has become impossible without the revs being high and high boost. the engine sounds like its having a hard time at that speed.
ive taken it to a number of transmission places and theyre all telling me that its something to do with the lockup solenoid or the lockup cylinder,?? im not sure what any of these are but im just worried that it might end up being a big job.
i was wondering if anyone has heard of this same problem and would have a solution
only reason i havent left it at an auto transmission place is because im worried that they may tell me all these things that are wrong and end up charging me heaps of money..
if someone coul give some advice i would greatly appreciate it
thanks
ramy
