shifter back and forth... PNP? Trans? 850 1985

posted by  someone claiming to be Landon on  Thu Dec 5 01:05 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I was having the same trouble that Bob posted... "My 95 850 has started shifting crazily by itself. Up and down, whenever it feels like it."

It's also sluggish when starting to move in the morning. Worse in cold weather. It won't go over 10 miles an hour. Then after about 10 minutes (or moving the shifter to 3 while driving) it just starts to go.

So I took Erwin's (and Bay 13's) advice and went out and tried the "shifter back and forth" idea on my car. Now it won't start.

Is it the PNP switch? Trans? Other?

Please HELP!
