gear shifting question for bighorn owners

[attic_dude]

i recently bought my bighorn november of last year from a friend in subic. its a 1995 bighorn fieldstar LS. i noticed this problem that the trooper sometimes refuses to go to 2nd gear even if the rpm reaches 4000rpm already. what i do is i have to let go of the accelerator pedal slightly for it to change gears. can anyone tell me what the problem is?

thanks in advance.

i assume automatic tranny ang sa iyo.

medyo mataas nga ang gearshift ng trooper.
napansin ko sa trooper ko (manual transmission) sa 3K ako nagpapalit ng gear, sa strada nasa 2.5 lang ako.

pero mataas pa rin ang sa iyo at 4K

ganyan din sakin, around 3000rpm lalo na pag bagong start sa morning

[attic_dude]

hmm, thanks sa insights niyo.

yes that is true pag sa morning parang kelangan pa i-warm up yung engine. but have any of you experienced instances when the trooper wud change to lower gear pag nag a-accelerate kayo? sometimes pag shift to lower gear yung rpms nasa 4k 4.5k na.

is it normal that the trooper wud shift to lower gear when you press the gas too hard?

this is my first diesel turbo matic and i seem to be having a hard time driving it.

thanks for your time and i look forward to your replies.

baka meron na slippage yung tranny mo...

[attic_dude]

kung meron slippage how would i go about to get it fixed or what causes yung slippage?

papalit mo muna yung ATF fluid mo...try mo...yung sa matic suv ko nagbago gumanda shifting

[attic_dude]

hmmm, ok will try that.

in relation to my question, sometimes the engine/shifting works flawlessly, usually at night or when its cold and raining. there was a time when the shifting was so perfect that i didnt want to turn off the engine for fear that when i wake up tomorrow i wud have the same problem agen. (it did)

haaaaaaay buhay.

attic_dude,

normal sa lahat ng automatics yung mag down shift when u press hard/abruptly yung gas pedal

[Jeepcruizerph]

yun na siguru yon,

magmula nung kinuha mo di ka parin nagpapalit ng ATF fluid?

mura lang yon bro...kahit sa suking gasolinahan pwede...yung sa akin caltex atf ang nilagay...

kasi nagbabago yung smoothness nya pag maiinit and pag malamig...kung bago yung ATF fluid mo consistent na sya na maganda.
