Praying the gearbox cable is the easy fix! :sunglasses: Excuse my ignorance but is this the same as the throttle cable? I've also read that the "D" on the older 440 transmission boxes is the over drive gear. Fair to say running in 3rd gear for my 440 box might be the equivalent of running in...

Awesome info @Gary820! It's a 3f-e and am starting to think it might need to be regeared. I can shift through all gears manually from 1/2/3/D and all will shift great. It has only recently had a compression test, new sparks and leads. It seems to be dropping low revs every gear change which...

Could any one here who has a 1992 80 series auto let me know what the revs drop back to when going in to 4th and usual power/top speed? Could be handy in identifying some problems as well. Cheers

I've had it for a few months now and the issue has always been there. I just assumed it was because of the bigger tyres and weight of the car but did some more research, and realised it should be able to accelerate past 100km/h let alone 80km/h in 4th gear. Edit - Air filter looks quite new. As...

UPDATE: The plugs and leads are brand new. I will be checking the air filter tonight to make sure that it is clean and in working condition.

Thanks mate - will give them a look over tonight.

Hey Higgy, It happens on both petrol and gas so I have ruled out fuel filter. In 3rd I can get up to 100km/h at about 3000rpm but then as soon as it changes to 4th, it loses momentum and sits on 2000rpm again and slowly drops down to 80km/h unless going on declined flat or down hill as...

Hey everyone, Long time reader and absolutely love the wealth of knowledge in this forum. Thanks all! So I have a petrol + gas 1992 80 series with automatic transmission. The truck runs great but once it hits 4th gear at around 80km/h it drops to 1700 rpm and doesn't seem to push past 2000rpm...
