Automatic Transmission Problem

**lancelot** · December 1st, 2003 01:07 PM

Gurus,

Question for a 1996 AUTO TRANNY PAJERO

How come napansin ko masyado matagal magshift yun auto tranny from 2nd to 3rd gear... You have to play it para magshift.

Also sometimes from 3rd gear bababa kaagad ng 2nd gear. while traveling.

I just changed my auto transmission oil as well as pinalinis ko na rin yun filter. Ganun pa rin.

What seems to be the problem as hindi naman siya ganun dati, I just noticed it when i drove it since driver usually drives this car.

Any recommendations???

The ECU? The O/D solenoid? The valve body? hehehehe. Daming pwedeng magloko.

Yung Sentra ng kapatid ko ganyan ang problema. Sabi sa casa, possibleng valve body ang problema. Pero mahirap i-check kasi complete teardown ng tranny daw ang gagawin.

Could be also because the tranny ECU 'thinks' you are stepping hard on the pedal, so it has a tendency to downshift as well as shift late. Has your engine power dropped, forcing you to step more than usual? Not sure for your particular tranny, but also what some people call as the 'kickdown' cable, if it has one, may be misadjusted...

Yung kickdown cable ng converted Patrol ng classmate ko putol. hehehehe.

Wala yatang cable yung Pajero. I will check the Montero later.

OTEP,

Sabi ng isng friend ko baka clutch problem.

Kasi today while test driving it. Napansin ko when going uphill 2nd gear goes back to 1st gear even pressed yun paa ko.

Same with ClemO, clearly loss of power going up tapos when i reach 3rd gear it suddenly downshifts to 2nd gear causing my tuck to emit so much smoke like a squid.

Tagal ko na kasi hindi na drive so i cannot compare it previously. But with our BF Gen2 which is automatic also wala naman ganitong problema.

Sir OTEP, saan ko kaya pwede pagawa itong auto tranny problem. Plan ko sa motorix sa banawe kasi puro mitsu parts sila dun. Pero one friend says dapat daw sa auto tranny specialists.

What do you think guys??? Suggestion needed

**ClemO** · December 15th, 2003 02:55 PM

Suggestion: try testing in reverse gear if you get the same slipping problem or not. Could be loss of pressure from the pressure pump of the tranny... Kung Ok sa atras, forward clutch problem probable. Then again, kahit anong problema, kung di nakuha sa tranny oil change and clean-out, baba tranny pa rin ang bagsak!

If you do find a good tranny mechanic, please let all know!

Mas maganda kung sa Automatic Transmission repair facility talaga dadalhin.

Maganda ang theory ni Clemo. Baka nga losing pressure ang tranny mo.

magkano po usually ang palit ng oil and filter for automatic? i just got my pajero kase ang i want to have yung oil na ma change..at how often this should be done? saan din ok magpagawa ng ganito?

VSM,

Around 1500 yun filter and mga 400 for atf. I will advice you to change filter/atf especially kung matagal na yun rig mo.

ClemO,

I had my transmission overhauled. Laki gastos sunog yata daw yun 3rd gear clutch (am not sure of the right term)
