    Default A340 Shift Controller issues

    Hey guys,

    I have a 1JZ Cressida with the A340 'box, however having a few issues with the shifting.

    I installed the MV Auto shift controller as per the instructions supplied by Mike, however sometimes when I put it into L it doesn't shift properly into first.

    Sometimes it goes in straight away, othertimes I can have it sitting in L for a while and it will sit in 2nd gear before randomly throwing itself into first gear.

    This problem is more apparent when the lights/parkers are on - it will not engage first gear AT ALL.

    Everything else seems ok, I had an auto electrician hook up some solenoids so that my O/D works, but still can't work out this issue with first gear.

    I can also get first gear to work if I put it into L and cut the power to the shift controller meaning that it is definitely electrical of some sort.

    Just ask Mike at MV automatics. He is very helpful over the phone.
