November 19, 200916 yr Just bought a 88 gl-10 turbo, and love it. One question though. Its an auto and doesn't like shifting in to 3rd or 4th gear. Like it'll hang in 2nd until I floor it and then let off. Any ideas? pics tomorrow!
November 19, 200916 yr in general auto trans issues are bad news, but make sure it's not something simple. do all the tires match - in size and tread wear and correct pressure? check the trans fluid - is it full, is it old, does it smell burnt? i'd be changing the fluid immediately, sounds like you might be having a trans issue. does the AT light flash 16 times on start up or is the check engine light on? the TPS is intergrated with the transmission, so that's one sensor you could look into.
November 20, 200916 yr Welcome to the board! This link: http://www.indysworld.com/80s/general/USRM/Transmission/Governor/ATgovenorclean.htm should tell you everything you need to know to fix your transmission shifting problems. Been there, done that. Kurt
November 20, 200916 yr That document cover's the 3 speed automatic governor. The 4 speed doesn't use a governor as it is electronically shifted. GD
November 30, 200916 yr Author Sorry for taking so long. I was messing around in the GL, climbing some little hills around my house. It was up on 3 wheels, so I got out and took a look. Tried to put it back in drive and nothing. So it was stuck on 3 wheels on a muddy hill in park, and to make matters worse it wont stop raining. I just put in in fwd then used my tractor to lift the front up and towed it back on soild ground today. So havent taken any new pics, but here are the pics of it before I bought it. I even included the bent up shifter cable.
December 4, 200916 yr Duuuuuude... Sweet wheels! Sorry about the whole transmission death thing... You should check out doing a 5sp swap on it, it would make life much easier. If you know how to drive a manual that is... Twitch PS: I'm the first Twitch! :-p
