940 auto lockup 900 1991

posted by  someone claiming to be Brad on  Fri Nov 17 14:09 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Hi all,

Yesterday while driving home the torque converter on my 940 AW71L started acting up. While acclerating the TC locked up at about 90Km/h then unlocked as soon as it hit 100Km/h. If I let off the throttle, went back under 90 then acclerated again the TC would lock up at 90 then unlock again at 100Km/h. So instead of turning at 2600rpm at 100kmh then engine was turning at about 2800-2900rpm. I checked the kickdown cable and throttle cable and found that both appear to be out of adjustment. The throttle drum doesn't turn all the way to the full throttle stop and the kickdown cable is about 10mm short between the crimp and the adjuster sleever. Could something here be causing this? Fluid in trans is fine both level and condition. All advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Roll on

    Hi!

    Are the wires really right on the drums? They easily jump off if one revs engine by turning the set of drums by hand. Look around the drums to check that the right wire is on the right drum all the way.
