We had a great weekend at a Connecticut campground last week but had a problem on the road there and back.
The transmissin would not shift into 3rd properly, here are the details.
Starting from a cold start all functions were normal. Several miles down the road the trans would not shift into 3rd.
For the next 100 miles, with precise repeatability this is what happened:
1 to 2 shift normal
2 to 3 shift would NOT occur until 62 MPH was achieved (~3,000 RPM)
Drop below 57 MPH and 3 to 2 shift occured and stayed in 2nd until speed was increased above 62 mph.
As I noted above this was repeated a number of times for the next 100 miles.
And NO, it is not the fan clutch.
About 10 miles from home the problem went away and shifting returned to "normal".
Heading out again in a couple of weeks for Cape Cod, What do you think the problem is, feedback please.
Would rather not repeat this experience :^(
