Guys,
I am from London and own a 91 SC auto with 70,000 miles. Have recently attended to a number of ignition, idle faults which I am happy to say have the left the engine running extremely smoothly. However, no rest for the wicked, the next set of problems with the car now has to be addressed. I have an intermittent transmission issue where the car will jerk quite strongly under hard acceleration. Transmission fluid is the right colour and at the right levels though I am unsure if it has ever been flushed and replaced. I also have an issue with the car not wanting to go into OD gear on the motorway, or highway as you guys call it. This again does not always occur. Living in the UK I do not have free and quick access to parts and most things have to be shipped from The States, so hoping a fluid change would be the preferred option to try first. Does this problem relate to a fluid change required or does it point to something more serious. With only 70,000 miles on this AOD transmission I find it hard to believe that the box would require a rebuild. This in any case would be out of my current budget.
Thanks guys in anticipation of any help or advice you might be able to give.
