Today my trans was acting wierd after 3"bl. In drive it was acting like it was skipping between drive and neutral. I made it home and when I got on my street and hit a bump it jumped to into neutral. So I shifted into 2 and that locked it into drive. Once I got to the garage I shifted to 1 to see what it would do, and it put it into 2nd. I looked at the instructions (Perf Acc) and all it shows it cutting the hole back 1" for the man. trans and nothing for an auto. If anyone else had this problem, I would appriciate what you did to fix it. This is just my toy and I don't drive all the time, but am planning on going wheelin this weekend and don't want this to affect how it runs.
Thanks in advance
Wes

You need to adjust the linkage rods to get it back to working right:icon_thumby:

tighten or loosen up? I went to eat lunch with my wife and drove it again (to test out some other theories) and it seemed to work perfect between drive and 2

You need to adjust the length of the rods to compensate for the body lift. Need to adjust the amount of travel on the rods so that it goes into all the gears.
