lacey 2.2 Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Hi this my first post.I have a 1990 2.2 auto legacy.After reading some of your post maybe this is common with all autos. It has a breaking effect from 2 to 3 , under modderate throttle it shifts up faster than you want, then if you want it to jump back to 2nd you have to plant your foot, then it down shifts and hunts back and forth between 2nd and 3rd. Has anybody ever adjusted the bands on this car? Is there anyway to make this car down shift with less effort?I beleive it has an overdrive anyway to lock it out? Off the subject a very rough idle on my car turned up to be a stock timming belt adjuster, it was not even in contact with the belt. thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 That's pretty normal in terms of down shifting. You have to dump it in order for it to downshift. I usually manually shift the gear selector because I want it to downshift, but I don't want it to jump down two gears and have the rpms up around redline. As for disabling overdrive.....again....just manually shift the gear selector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
