mode selector switch fix (shift indicator light)

[AK Falco]

Sprey, when I was cleaning the mode selector switch i was using a carb cleaner and a clean shop rag. once clean and dry I used a petroleum based compound that protects wires and contacts. it is an electrical product made to protect aluminum wires from oxidizing. it is an electrically conductive compound to it will transfer a signal or current helping worn contacts. the stuff I used came in a tube and is made by Illsco.

Also after doing the cleaning I flushed the tranny and filled up with new fluid. seeing the difficulty of checking the fluid level, this might not be something that a normal car owner would do on a regular basis. I believe that low fluid was partly to blame for my problems dealing with the jerking and gear light in the dash showing the wrong gear.

Ahh i see!
I ended up using a cleaner that can be used on Maf sensors so yea electronic safe. gave they a clean out and a wipe down basicly got all the stuff off.

and just applied bits of the lithium grease and made sure it was all smooth, at least now i know its all done.

But yea i agree on the tranny fluid im gonna get my flushed etc soon.
As i have no history of the car no idea what has been done in the past.

Tho ive had no dash light problems had the odd jerking gear.

basicly ive been slowing down to for a giveway sign. so like under 30km. and the autobox would drop down a gear then up then down again i think and that sorted like gave me a kick.

but yea ill most likely get it flushed soon.
