hi, After my squealing brakes problem (i have no time since monday to fix it...) i had also another problem (which in fact i 've since i overhauled the trans. some years ago but more noticeable this damned monday) : an overspeeding of the engine every time the trans. upshifts from 2 to 3. Only a 1/2 second but not a very good thing for the engine .. As you think the runaway is much noticeable if the upshift occurs at a higher speed. If i look at the trasnmission power flow i note that when the trans must shift from 2 to 3 you must have simultaneously a disengagement of the KD band and an apply of the rear clutch (front clutch remains engaged). it seems that on my car the two actions are not simultaneaous... Why ? Problem with the 2-3 shift valve or the "shuttle valve". Or anything else ? Oil level is OK. Transmission has 4000 miles since overhaul. No slippage , no problem on 1-2 upshift. I have also a "forced kick down" problem (no KD ..) but i'll explain it on a next message -- Philippe COURANT (Pau, France)- Webmaster des sites ACCF et C-I-F Imperial 1957 Crown convertible Buick 1996 Roadmaster wagon - American Car Club de France (ACCF) : http://www.accf.com - Chrysler Imperial France (C-I-F) : http://www.ifrance.com/c-i-f - Cadillac " Standard of Excellence " : http://www.ifrance.com/accf-cad - SportsCars : http://www.ifrance.com/accf-sprtcar -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 2003 Calendar voting results and ordering information is online!
