hi all, iv only just noticed this,

Whilst doing 70mph and the gearbox is in o/d if i lift off the accelerator peddle the gear drops out in a neutral state, press the accelerator and the gears shift to find 5th then lock.

Also same thing as im doing 40mph and i manually shift from D to 2 or 1 the gears drop out into a neutral state and will only engage once iv pushed the accelerator peddle, so the truck just free roles providing no engine braking.

so it seems as if it only locks whilst the accelerator peddle is pushed?

am i looking at a lazy solinoid for the torque lockup?

thankyou
 






The 70 mph unlock and lock sounds normal, if you start out in manual low does it have engine braking?
