Stays in gears too long

Hi everyone,

I have a 1989 auto ZX, for some reason recently it stays in the gears to long to a point where I have to either rev the hell out of it for it to change or take my foot of the accelerator.

Does anybody know what might be the problem here?

 

power button

or

tps

 

Im sorry I dont understand what you mean?

 

if you dont know what those terms mean then it means you need to go through the whole tech section and read every single article

 

Get a gearbox service done, especially if you dont know when its last one was, one of the best things ive done to my car. It had the same problem, now changes quickly and smoothly.

 

Its likely the TPS isn't set correctly. TPS = throttle position switch

 

service

Take it into a transmission specialist and get it serviced. mine was doing the same thing when I bought the car and I thought nothing of it. ended up blowing the tranny up one day on the way home from work and cost me heaps.

i cant speak for the zed boxes but my t350 box would have similar symptoms when fluid was low.

 

Check TPS, Check Fluid.

Better yet, get a Manual
