e30 325i auto downshift problem ?

Recommended Posts

Hi, my FL E30 325i auto is downshifting if i accelerate hard (kickdown) then ease foot off the gas, rather than shifting up. Its making for lots of revs and excitement but does anyone know whats up?

to be clear, overtaking i press down to the kick down switch, it kicks down then at about 120 changes up, then when i ease off the gas it kicks down again.......

Cheers

buy my box. rebuilt in 2007 drives like it was new.

Cheers - I may be keen on that - this car has been resurected after sitting for 2 years. Fluid colour is good but i was hoping this might be a service or adjustement problem.......?

The kick down cable might be sticking or there may be a governor problem. Get it checked out by your local trans specialist.
