Hi all,
Im looking fro advice/help/opinion on a problem developing in my
Girlfriends AU Falcon.
Symptoms
This is an intermittent fault.
Sometimes (usually a lot if the Motor is hot) when we slow for a corner
or stop for lights, the car does not change down but remains in top gear
and will eventually stall the engine, if we go slow enough, or stop.
We can over come the problem in 2 ways
1/ by manually selecting 2nd gear - then the transmission behaves as
usual as we stop.
2/ by pressing the throttle mildly, allowing the engine to kick down.
I have recently changed the trans oil and filter to see if it might help
- bit this has not improved the situation, or if it has, only by a small
amount.
Can any one offer a suggestion as to what the cause is?
Thanks for your consideration,
Drew

Transmission fault, convertor maybe faulty or the speed sensor isn't telling
the trans ECU what the road speed is.
