PMAC/ new century trans 5 years old, 19,000 miles.
Trans brake and 9/11 convertor.
I havent beat on it too hard, but something is definitely wrong cause alot of the time it sticks in gears, and wont upshift.
Setting the meth pump the other day on the tranny brake, the trans temp never exceeded 170°... This is when the trans started to act up. I brought it up on 5psi of boost probably 10 times over 30 minutes to set the pump. Brought it to 5psi for 2 seconds and kept the car running the entire time.
A few days later it started acting funny.
Actually this winter when the trans is cold, it takes longer to go into OD, but always hit OD.
A few days ago while leaving a resturant, it stayed in first gear for 300 feet, rpms were around 3800 and wouldnt shift to second. Hit the stop light, drove off fine shifted thru 3rd no problem.
This morning, going to work, i drove 3 miles on the highway and the car would not shift into OD even up to 85mph, shifted 1-2-3 just fine never hit OD. RPMS were up on the convertor at 3600 at higher MPH, tried manually locking the convertor and the TCC would not lock in third....TCC switch always works...
Almost pulled over to check the TV cable, slowed down for traffic, traffic picked up and continued 17 more miles down the road in OD with the TCC locked.
Got to work.
This evening, leaving work, wouldnt shift to 3rd gear, pull over and shut the car off. Pull TV cable off, still has plenty of tension and is hooked inside trans, no binding..
Drove down the road and immediately the car drove back to normal, 1-2-3 to OD and convertor locked at normal setting.
Traffic slows down to 40 on the highway, car wont upshift to OD,
This is where im thinking, OK, car hasnt been WOT for 3 weeks and since i havent floored it the trans starts acting funny.
I floor the car for about 1 second at 45mph and drive away all the way home in OD and the convertor is locked from the computer just like normal
Trans worked fine when driving hard when the meth kit was working fine, now i cant get into boost cause the meth pump and controller, now having trans issues.
So, drove it again tonight, no OD on the highway, i tried again to lock the convertor in third at 70MPH and the rpms still are up and no OD...
What in the world could it be?
Low line pressure keeping it from upshifting?
TV cable isnt bottomed out/ too tight.. Actually havent touched it in 5 years.
Been using type F fluid.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
