So a quick update here for anyone having similar issues, got a couple helping messages in my inbox and all together adjusting the TPS, kick down cable and changing the atf fluid helped. Currently on a roadtrip and after 500 km no issues at all. Thanks everyone for the help! Sent from my Nexus 5 usin...

This tranmission has an oil temp sensor on the side of the valve body housing. If it misbehaves it can put your tranny into a false SAFE MODE and will change how the tranny shifts. This operates an indicator light on the dash when the heat gets too high. It may not light when the sensor isn't readi...

So a little update here. Still not fixed, working my way through it. Brought it to Butch @ CVI. He adjusted TPS and things got better... for a bit. After driving a bit more it was back. Looks like it happens after an hour of driving or more. Sometimes when I press the gas pedal after coasting (flat ...

You know what? I just took it for a quick steep climb on Mountain Highway in North Van (engine was warm) and I noticed something. Going around 45-50 kph, 2300 rpm... Hard to explain, it was barely noticeable, but there were some slight quick dips in rpms (not more than 50 rpm for a split of a second...

Shifting good this weekend... Confused!

So I drove back to North Van from Whistler, keeping my eye on everything I could. Weird stuff happening almost immediately on the hwy (just a couple minutes of driving). Going slightly downhill at 80kph with light foot on gas (almost engine braking) and it changed to 3rd gear (2500rpm), accelerating...

Sorry, tapatalk didn't add the picture, so here it goes. ATF levels look good to me. Talked to a local shop in Whistler and they suggested something around the gas pedal sensor - that it's giving the transmission wrong information about the load, gas pedal position etc.

And this after another 20 minute drive.

So I measured the level of the ATF after a 10 minute warmup, 10 minute drive and 5 minute idle (engine was at working temp halfway the drive, outside temp around 12C). Looks I might be running short on ATF? Or is this ok for such a short drive?

Not sure, transmission was flushed by Mardy. Any suggestions?

I have recently noticed, that at certain situations the transmission is hesitant and shifts up and down. This happened twice on the way between Vancouver and Whistler: going around 80kph, light on gas pedal, light uphill, almost no load in the car (just me and some gear), shifted up and down around ...

Thanks a lot! Will do that on a lazy weekend :-) Is it possible to do it without jackstands, just with a regular jack to change tires, one shock at a time? Ondra Not difficult at all. First have a look with a flashlight so you know where the front and rear shocks are. Ensure you have the right match...

Thinking about new shocks as well. How difficult is to change them diy on the L400?

Yup, thats the one. The Mardi's car does not come with the warranty though. Will give him a call. Thanks a lot! Looks a little rusty to me. Mardi at Amazing Auto has a similar one for $8600 but it has new tires and a lot of other bits and has a 1 year warranty. Plus it only has 46k on it. If yours i...

Have seen the car today. It's just the basic short base, low roof, no sunroofs, nothing extra version. When he started the engine (I was told it didn't go anywhere during the holidays), it took couple seconds to actually start and a blow of grey smoke came out of exhaust. Once it got running the smo...
