hi there something wrong with my transmission this does not happen all the time on any random day I have a drive to work o back home my car feel like it cant reach higher speeds after it shifts to third gear it kinda gets stuck between 80 and 85 kmh but thats happens randomly I dont have have a pattern or at least i havent seen one some days i can get her to run 120kmh smoothly with no problems. one day, and I know this is probably the dumbest thing to do, she started to give problems in the transmission so I kinda forced her back by kicking in the throttle controlled overdrive she began stoping but at the end she came back up again and ran like a dream (im hoping i didnt mess her up)[img:66b30f21a5]http://www.2carpros.com/forum/automotive_pictures/227789_011206_1704_1.jpg[/img:66b30f21a5]

Hi Kevin,

Nope no problem at all. Guess that was what you did not do often enough. If equipped with O/D switch, it tends to get stuck if not used over long period of time.
