Member Posts: 5 Location: Faroe Islands | Hi I have some problems with my A-488 Torqueflite transmission - when driving around for a couple of hours the transmission is not acting as it should - i.e. when I am activating the "N" push button (neutral) the car is going in reverse. The oil is changed and the oil temp is around 180-200F - any idea what is wrong??

Location: North Australia | G'day Oliver, Nice looking Imperial. The colours really suit it. I had to search up Faroe Islands, never heard of them before, man, you are in a remote place, how did that car (and you) end up there??? Have you heard of the Online Imperial Club? Lots of info to help you out, I have added the transmission page link here just in-case you have not seen it. http://www.imperialclub.com/Repair/Transmission/index.htm Do you know any history of the car, specifically the transmission? What else have you done to solve the problem? You will find there are a couple expert transmission guys on this site, and I am sure they will chime in. Steve. | ||

Member Posts: 5 Location: Faroe Islands | Hi yes it is a stock antenna :-) , yes I am afraid I have to pull the transmission out for overhaul , it is a bit difficult to get parts etc. But the transmission is the last part of the car that is not overhauled I have during a 5 years period overhauled the entire car.

Member Posts: 5 Location: Faroe Islands | Hi Steve , the Faroe Islands Maybe the last paradise on Planet Earth :-), https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ec5KwR41_iI I live her in the Faroe Islands , for apx 5 years ago I bought the Imperial from Sweeden - since then me and my son have been overhauled the car i.e new breaks all over-suspension - power steering-total engine overhaul and much more - only one item remaining and it is the transmission. Reg the transmission the valve block was removed and cleaned for apx 2yesrs ago - both bands adjusted acc to speck-we have also installed a external circulating pump and a filter for the transmission, installed to pipe connection in each side of the pan so the oil is circulating through the filter and the cooler this to keep the oil @ apx 180-200F and keep the oil clean, the old pipe connections are connected in to a loop (together) I have tested the transmission i.e. to give the care full throttle there is no problem for the transmission to handle that thare is on slip at all I am aware of the Imperialclub and have been using the side a lot very usefull Edited by RexiRexi 2017-08-28 6:05 PM | ||
