Re: auto stuck in 1st Posted by Cmyles [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Re: auto stuck in 1st, Cmyles ![]() |
Jeff,
The extra information helps. You should check the throttle pressure cable. If it is jammed or adjusted way too tight it would prevent a normal 1-2 upshift. First just pull it near the throttle body and see if it snaps back into the transmission to demonstrate that it's actually operating the cam in the unit. if it passes that test the next step is to properly adjust it and you should have the Saab manual to get that correct. Like I said, a very typical cause of the problem you describe is a jammed governor and if the throttle pressure cable is OK that's the next thing to investigate. Sometimes cleaning the governor and running with fresh ATF will solve the problem but often the governor is jammed with fine metal shavings that are being constantly created due to a part in the unit being ground away so any repair will amount to fixing the symptom, not the actual problem and won't work for long.
