Hello - I have a friend with a 240 and a problem... "when I go more than about 35mph it starts acting funny. The engine will get unusually quiet and be unresponsive to more gasthen it will rev up a lot withoutincreasing the car's speed then kick forward. That little cycle will repeat without any overall increase in speed or regulation of motor activity. Isuspect that the transmission is just going out."

Any thoughts?

 

It sounds like it might be slipping.When was the last time the trans was flushed/maintenanced?
I am sure some one can help you diagnosis it if you needto.

 

Thanks for the info! The transmission fluid levels have been topped up, but it has not been flushed. Any thoughts? Is flushing synonomous with draining and refilling?

 

Yes..Drain it and refill it. if that doesn't help. post back and some one can help you.

 

Thank you very much!

 

No problem
