Topic: Car won't shift ARGHHH!!!!

My automatic is a one speed manual.   

We are really fast up to 48 Mph but then we hit the rev limiter...

Some days I hate computers!

Ha-ha .. I hear ya. Our car is pretty decent from, say, 3500 to 4500 rpm. It's everywhere else in the rev range that it sucks.

We plan on using only 1 gear for most of the race at Sears Pointless....only 3rd (of 4).....but our 3rd gear is a 130mph gear.....which we will NEVER see at any Lemons race!!

Eureka!  I solved the problems and we have all 4 gears.  We will be at Lemons houston in our full glory.  wink

1993 Lincoln Mark VIII, the same one that overheated and blew head gaskets last outing at MSR.

Semi-non-interesting story, apparently it got hot enough to MELT the plug wire ends causing a serious misfire on some of the cylinders where the gaskets blew...

I still had the old wires from the trunk when I got the car and they work much better so we have a rainbow of plug wires on the car now.
