Good morning
all!
I?m looking at a 68 Convertible in
my area that wouldn?t shift into 3rd gear on my short test
drive. I looked into the repair section of the site to see a list of
possibilities and maybe I mis-read the section? I found tons of references to
letting the Torque Converter fill before driving off, but I didn?t see much
about problems shifting into 3rd gear. Does the torque converter cover
this as well?
Since I?m not a mechanical sort,
can someone enlighten me on the basics of transmissions, the leading causes of
why a transmission would not shift into higher gears, and if I should run in
the opposite direction from a car whose front brakes (Bud system) pulsate and
transmission won?t hit high gear. Otherwise this car is ?all there? but
needs clean up and touch up.
Thanks,
javier
