[Luke]

cheers - now taxed too

i was driving it and was having a play with the gears - it always seemed slow to set off in drive (hence north weald) - i tried it manually selecting 1st and seemed to be loads faster - ive been doing a bit of research and i'm pritty sure its something to do with the electronics/wiring

It might be a feature (like some other boxes) that it pulls away in 2nd, unless kickdown is engaged or manually selecting 1st

i hope thats the case andy

[madbri]

how do ure gears work? ie could it b a faulty solinoid?

[Luke]

wired up the kick down and i think andy is right i reckon at north weald i was setting off in 2nd it does seem a fair bit faster now hopefully i can get it on the 0-60 sprint at ford fair for a proper test

i had to mount a new switch for the kickdown as the toyota one wouldnt fit the transit pedal but i ran out of gas - so the mount is tacked on temperarly (hence no photos )

i really want the rev counter working now and also need to sort the bypass on the turbo vents directly out with no silencer - its way too loud

[Luke]

update still not right pritty sure the problem is wiring related re. the autobox - i think its the 'lock up solenoid' you can be travelling at 50mph boot it the box kicks down the engine revs up but there's little increase in speed

can't wait to get this sorted

[Luke]

well i'm not so sure it's electrical now it might be the actual box slipping i have got a spare box i could swap over but i need to be quick to get it done before fordfair
