This morning I read about the trip info computer and realized that the average speed was probably low because the previous owner had been only driving it around town. I reset the trip info, and on my way to work, the average speed was more representative of reality. I declare, this car is like a spaceship compared to my 240.
I did notice last night that the cruise control didn't work. Could that be related to the problem somehow?
Last night, I am confident that the transmission was not shifting at all. However, this morning when it was cold, it was shifting a little. I am assuming, though, that it was not getting into high gear because I was still turning around 3000 rpm at 60 mph. As I approached 60 it was a little higher than 3000 rpm, and then I felt it shift and it dropped 200-300 rpms.
When I bought the car, my belief was that replacing the solenoids and flushing the transmission fluid might well do the trick.
Any ideas?
