Question for Russ,
On my 4speed ZF box I have been playing with the kickdown adjustment but can't seem to get it right. It goes through the first 3 gears very quickly and is sluggish on acceleration. On the fluid level side when cold it is about 1 1/2" up the dipstick and after a run when the engine is hot it is bone dry. Now do you think that I need to add more fluid? or what will happen if I overfill the box. I always thought the fluid was higher when hot, but not in this case. Clive Tate says that the fluid should be just visible on the dipstick- but hot or cold? When hot and cruising say on motorway it behaves perfectly.
Cheers-Bob
