stylus Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 Hello, I was borrowing my fathers 93 impreza, and did a brake job and powersteering belt. I also washed it and sprayed off the motor with the hose. Now when you are cruzing along and punch it the tranny doesnt kick down to a passing gear. Most likely got water where it doesnt belong. Any ideas???? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supaglu Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 Have you tried it in "power" mode, also try pulling the gearshift back into 3rd gear (if this is a 4 speed) and see if it changes down that way. DaveH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stylus Posted March 21, 2004 Author Share Posted March 21, 2004 I am not sure about the power mode, I have seen the light on the dash that says "power" but couldn't figure what the deal is. Before the kick down problem started I could stomp on the gas and get the "power" light to come on, when it down shifted and accelerated the light would come on then go away when I went back to normal acceleration/crusing. I can use the shifter and force it the tranny to down shift. I also never really figured out what the "manual" button was for on the shifter, I assume it forces the tranny to stay in the gear that you select no matter what (like over reving the gears). I read some of the old post about the Throttle Positon Sensor, and fear thats the problem one person said $250 repair Any recommendations would be helpful.
