Re: [DML] Automatic shifting troubles

Hey Jeremiah

I had many of the symptoms you had, then I repaired my transmission
computer. I used the write-up that Mark Hershey did on the DMCNew's website
as instructions and guidelines. I must say that the car drives and shifts
much better now.

Remove the computer and perform the repairs yourself if you can solder, or
get someone who can do it. Trust me, it's worth it.

to 3rd with no problem. However, once the car has had about 3 miles down the
road, I will have the car in 1st going down the road and it sticks in 1st.
If I try to accelerate, I get nothing but engine reving; the engine simply
will not go from 1st to 2nd - it is solidly stuck in 1st. When trying to go
to 2nd, it's almost as if it's in neutral, and you can hold the pedal down
all you want - it will not go from 1st to 2nd. IF I come to a complete stop
and hit the accelerator, she will drive no problem but only in 1st gear; the
car will simply not go to 2nd or 3rd What I don't understand is it works
just fine the 1st 10 minutes or the first 2-3 miles...then all of a sudden
that problem pops up.

what does everyone else think? This is also, of course,why I'm thinking
about having the computer governor rebuilt. Thank you for your time
everyone.
