Again thanks for your reply I actually changed the solenoids for brand new ones and i cleaned alot of crap from the filter and from the pan It has made a difference but sometimes it is still harsh So i think ill do a flush with fresh ATF fluid and try that Don't get me wrong it does...

Thanks for your reply is that adjustable in some way?

I have a new filter on the way which I will change I dont think any wires on the solenoids are broken as it goes through all the gears its just abit harsh so I think it will be the solenoids them selves

I personally think its down to the solenoids. some a442fs have cables for the kickdown and from my understanding on several posts and the haynes manual mine has a switch that sends a signal to the ecu to tell it when to kickdown instead of a cable so it's electronic and can't be adjusted

so after looking for a cable and referring to my haynes manual a number of times it looks like mine has a kick down switch which I'm assuming it's not adjustable like it says in the book, don't get me wrong it does go through the gears up and down its just abit clunky sometimes and also when...

thanks very much ill check this out

brilliant thank you

thank you for your reply where would that cable likely to be on a 1hdfte engine?? cheers Mark

hi guys got some bad gear shifting going on not as smooth as it should be so I'm going to remove the solenoids and clean them out and aswell as the filter if that doesn't make a difference I will replace them. what would you recommend cleaning them with?? 2000 100 series 4.2 diesel a442f...

yeah of course i was just worried about destroying the gear box but after another run in it today it all seems to be fine

I dont have any problems but I've heard if changing out really old fluid for new can do more harm than good

so yesterday I decided to change the ATF fluid I drained 10 litres and refilled with new the truck has 194k miles on the clock and the previous owner said he'd never changed it the fluid was very brown maybe black in a different light and there was a few bits of swarf in the old oil any...

well that's a bit of a bugger thanks for your help once again ps, techstream and cable are on their way over here

this is the one I am looking at but would this fit a 2000 100 series
