[Mk2] [Generic] O/D Gearbox

Post by wayneadam »

Hi,
I have a G Limited auto. When pushing the over drive button on the gear lever the O/D light on the dash comes on but that is about all.
I have noticed only a couple times when in top gear that the over drive is working but only for a couple of seconds before it decides to change back down. (Without me applying any increased throttle.)
There is also a 'Manu' and a 'PWP' button at the back of the gear lever consul that activate the ETC dash lights but have no other noticable affect.
Any body think this might be connected or have any ideas/suggestion on the over drive problem?
Ps Whats the little red button on the front left of consul?
Many thanks.

Little red button is the shift lock release - it allows you to move the stick about freely when the car is off (useful for getting dash trim off etc).

I've got an owners manual at home with explanations for the MAN and PWR buttons but they're not very exciting.

Can't help with your overdrive I'm afraid.
