Strangest thing happenned to me the other day!
Driving the old Trimatic along and for some reason everytime I coasted and lifted the foot off accelerator, it kicked down to 2nd gear (no matter what speed I was doing?)
I am feeling there is something wrong but wondering what? it seems to be with Vacuum?? is it a common thing to happen?
Any help would be appreciated
Matt

Hi Matt.
This is a very common Tri-Matic issue & it's easy to fix.
Buy a new detent (kickdown) solenoid, drop the pan & bolt the new one in (2 bolts). If the solenoid is an original type you will have to shorten the bolts or use spacer washers, beca |
If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0 |

Thanks Dr Terry,
The other thing this trans does is it takes a fairly long time to engage reverse, fine in drive but it has to think about going backwards, is this common, easy to fix or toss away and start again?
