My '90 DL Won't get HI with Me


Recommended Posts

The engine purrs like a sewing machine, but I have 1st and 2nd gear only and I have to manually shift into them...won't go into Hi (Drive). I've replaced the modulator valve, which definitely needed replacing, but that did not correct the shifting problem. Has anyone else encountered this ? I've been told there are sensors which may correct this...anyone familiar with what they are called?

Thanks !

Well, I looked in the new USRM, and they said the old articles were lost in translation. Bummer, there was some good stuff in there. www.archive.org to the rescue! Here's the article I was looking for: http://web.archive.org/web/20040814115524/http://www.usmb.net/repair/?CurrentDirectory=FOLDER_3f29b58f50d9b8.15492800/&FileType=Article&File=ARTICLE_3f57fdb83de231.34713659.art

 

It seems like your governor gear is gummed up. Take a look at that article for tips on how to fix it.
