hi there

have you checked the wiring loom in the engine bay and to the gearbox?

'95 cars are prone to bad wiring.

Hi there!

We had a similar situation. Our car (Geraldine) would not select top gear (overdrive) when we bought her. After replacing the VSS, rebuilding the wiring loom, cleaning the MAF, checking the TPS & fixing an air leak (broken tee piece under centre of plenum chamber), we adjusted the brake bands & found that the front one was very badly adjusted. We guessed at the adjustment using a small spanner - problem solved!
It is critical that the adjustment screw is loosened by 2 turns after tightening it to 10lbft.
Hope this helps! ;)

Good luck.
Paul & Ania.

Hi Beckmand.
Have you solved your problem? Mine is also a 95'er.

I agree with GeraldineGreene, I suggest re checking bands.
