Subject:Vanagon Automatic Kick-Down problem
From:kevin obrien

Hello All:

I saw a posting by Mike (md03@XOCHI.COM) last
week...but unfortunately deleted the responses before
I could read them.  I too have been having an Auto
Trans "Kick-Down" issue:

I had a new engine put in this summer and ever since
getting it back from the mechanic it doesn't seem to
kick down when going uphill...only if I really stomp
the pedal to the floor..and even then it doesn't seem
to produce the needed "oomph" uphill.

I originally took it back to the mechanic, who worked
on my accelerator linkage thinking that was the
problem...his adjustment helped a little...but it
still isn't right.

Any suggestions from the list?

Cheers!
Kevin
