Hi, Can anyone help with this? My 1993 auto terrano is over revving uphill when its trying to change down through the gears - It feels like is slips into neutral (the RPM revvs to over 4000) as the truck looses power and speed. Very frustrating!
Have been to 2 mechanics who both said different things - one said its the kick down cable, the other said its the torque converter or tramission.
Anyone had this happen?? Hoping its an easy fix.....Help!

I'd be starting with the trans fluid if i were you.

Had a transmission flush 2 weeks ago and new fluids and it didn't help..

What colour was the old fluid and did it smell burnt.?

Hi there,got the mechanic to do the trans flush so didnt get to see the colour of the fluid.. am struggling going even a gentle up hill now.. so frustrated, think i bought a lemon..

So did you buy this truck recently?

might sound dumb...but have you checked the trans fluid level since the change?

well they don't have a kickdown cable so you can rule that mechanic out.

yeah that's what im thinking....sounds like it still hasn't got enough fluid in it.

Easy to check the fluid level but I assume it was changed and flushed originally because it was playing up.

Sounds like the trans is due for a rebuild but do the simple things first. Get the truck hot and check the fluid level in park.
