drove it about 8 miles today and at first still no 3rd gear, so i got up to about 40 and let off and had no gears. i could rev up a little ad it would catch alittle
so i through it in neutral and then back into drive, i had 3rd gear. it done this several times until the last 3 miles, started working good,i could drop it into
2nd and go back 3rd and it would shift great, did this several times, all worked great. it acted like something in the vb was sticking and taking a minuate to release. yesterday the regulator vale in the vb was sticking.
i hope this was the problem.
