Your advise is well taken Posted by Peter [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Dangerous Behavior, Peter ![]() ![]() |
Hi guys, thank you all for responding(Ari,SteveB, and Jan Geert).
Last night I took a look at the transmission oil and it didn't look all dirty but It didn't look clean either. So next thing is to have it changed. I called in town but no one can actually do a complete fluid flush including the dealer who can only change filter and drain as much oil as they can, and so I'll settle for that.
Now, on the issue of the "downshift cable", is there a written procedure I can follow to adjust it ? Do I need special tools to accomplish the task ?
And one more thing that may or may not be related. A cable driven arm rests on the dashpot when the throtte is closed, now I noticed that it does not slowly hit it and rest on it but rather pushes the dashpot down a distance like it suffocates it, and I hear a click immediately when I let go of the arm. Now, I heard from search on this BB, that it should take about 4 seconds for me to hear that click (from where ?). Before that I used to hear it after about ~3 seconds but after the last service at the mechanic shop I noticed the difference. this is because I complained to my mechanic that my idle was very high after the service so he then adjusted a screw (or 2) besides the throttle switch (I believe that's what it's called, a black box attached to the throttle). What effect does re-adjusting the screws have ? Would replacing the dashpot helps ?
