1994 940 turbo auto transmission shifting funny

Post by robin_740 »

hello,

can someone please give location of transmission ecu - my transmission keeps shifting down at the slightest acceleration or lift off the gas pedal - my non turbo does not function like this - I have a non running turbo to swap part I just cant find it - looked under driver knee bolster but I don't know what to look for, I do see a bunch of wiring confusion under there,

thanks in advance,

rob

That transmission has no ecu, it's manually operating. It has a downshift, or throttle valve, cable that's adjustable. Do some research on adjusting the kickdown cable.

A good chance Kick Down Cable is shot.

See: Kickdown cable replacement
