Hi to all of you from the West Indies. I am the owner of a 1991-1992 Soarer, and must say that this site has been a great source of information to me. I have quietly followed many discussions and will be in need of added assistance in the coming month once the car is up and running again. I guess the auto trannies have had a hard life and so far have had to change three in less than a year,waiting a few spare to convert to r154 at the moment.

Might be how overworked were those trannies all second hand. No dyno here but running just under 14psi with stock turbos, apexi pod, stock IC, and 3" exhaust. So not doing that much although persons consider it one of the fastest soarers here and have not been abusing them either. The last one came of a car that had crash right after hitting speed cut.

Maybe you have the line pressure a bit too low?

Never thought of that just concluded that it was time to go manual. What would have cause it though?, since the car ran well for years constantly street racing with a greddy fmic which would have had the boost higher still, I would think.

Line pressure cable not adjusted well causing excessive slipping? That's just a wild guess as I don't know much about Automatics.

They all showed one symptom which was sticking in one gear and after a few days it would be useless to do anything with them. Fresh type iv fluid would be black in just a few weeks of allowing the car to do all the shifting.Usually less than a full month of driving.

A340's are tough mofo's - Should run for donkeys years at say, 200RWKW with regular servicing (full flushes), a little mechanical empathy, and a good cooler. They do have their limits of course.

Blocked or damaged auto cooler maybe? Or even crimped/crushed pipework to the cooler. Check for restrictions. Maybe Sykes your just cooking them all?

Impossible to cook them like that unless you really mean to!

Sykes I'd wind the line pressure right up, and as Daniel said, check for restrictions mate
