    Sending unit? Gauge? Fuel needle confusion...

    Here are some updates fellas. When full, sensing terminal on sender to ground was 90 ohms. Removing ground, needs reads full, removing sensing wire, needle reads full, grounding sending wire it reads empty. So the gauge seems to be working pretty well. Cleaned grounds again, and they are all...

    Sending unit? Gauge? Fuel needle confusion...

    That is true. Just so odd to me that this problem kind of started overnight without warning.

    Sending unit? Gauge? Fuel needle confusion...

    Hey all, got another one for ya. So in my M1009, the fuel needle very recently started reading inaccurate readings. The current situation is when the tank is full my gauge reads 3/4. It also goes to E properly when empty. Here is a small list of what I have done. -Cleaned ground by rear...

    Going to have to pull M1009 trans. Questions

    Well, looks like there isn't much I can do about this transmission anymore. I've tried so hard to fix anything I could on it to stop the slipping/downshifting. I basically don't have 3rd gear. It'll go into it, but instantly loses it when I give it throttle. I have normal reverse though. I have...

    Strange slipping or possibly downshifting issue on M1009

    I'll report back once I get the chance to start tearing into it. I called a trans shop, and they kept saying a bad governor would cause a no shift or very poor shift situation, and a bad sprag would cause 2nd gear problems. And a vacuum modulator would have poor shift patterns. Not sure if they...

    Strange slipping or possibly downshifting issue on M1009

    The leaks were actually discovered to be a clogged breather that shot fluid through the tube but ran down to where I thought was coming out of the bellhousing. Since then it has been repaired at leaks stopped. However, as for this problem, it only developed after it drove for another 15,000...

    Strange slipping or possibly downshifting issue on M1009

    I'll check it out, although if I recall the governor wouldn't cause random kickdowns? It's hard to tell if it's slipping or kicking down to be honest

    Strange slipping or possibly downshifting issue on M1009

    That's true... Hmm, I'll just bite the bullet and get it checked out, although considering the state of the trans, I might be better off just spending the money and getting another one to swap in myself. Just something to consider at least.

    Strange slipping or possibly downshifting issue on M1009

    Here's what I can say... When I manually shift to second or first the trans does it without hesitation at any speed, however, with third, it will shift to third but then I can't tell if it's shipping or just dropping to second over and over... My reverse is solid, so I can't immediately so...

    Strange slipping or possibly downshifting issue on M1009

    I just went out there to check it out, the switch slides with open throttle and returns when let off the throttle

    Strange slipping or possibly downshifting issue on M1009

    What makes it slide back? Is this how the mechanism should properly function?

    Strange slipping or possibly downshifting issue on M1009

    Here is all the other details that I can provide. On the highway, when in third gear, it feels as though it just keeps downshifting to second with almost any real throttle input or when going uphill, which obviously causes the engine to just rev up like crazy. But when I let off the throttle...

    Strange slipping or possibly downshifting issue on M1009

    Is there a picture out there of what it looks like? I am not entirely sure exactly where that mechanism is! Never knew about it!

    Strange slipping or possibly downshifting issue on M1009

    Hey all, here's a juicy one. My M1009's trans likely isn't slipping since it still pulls, however when I am on the highway, or at least in 3rd gear, if you add any noticeable amount of throttle or start climbing a small hill, the engine revs way up, as though it kicked down to second. When you...
