Hello,
I'm new to the Club as well. I have a couple of questions about LS 400 transmissions / electrical system.
I have a 1991 LS400 with 105,000 miles. I have noticed - or this may be my imagination - that as I'm at speed on a level highway that when I take my foot off the gas that the speed seems to reduce quicker than expected. I've checked the brakes for rubbing -NO.
If there were something rubbing in any part of the tranny, would I know it ? I don't hear any noises when shifting nor feel any slippage and the tranny shifts smoothly and quietly. Could it be as simple as the axles need greasing ?
I also noticed that on the highway when I was at 120 mph that a little smoke seemed to be coming from the gearshift console. It went away at sub-100 mph speeds. What could be rubbing as the driveshaft rotates faster ? Again, no noises. Also, If there is too much transmission fluid in the transmission, what are the effects ? Could this be the cause of the tiny bit of smoke? Could something be burning /melting on the driveshaft - undercoating, maybe ?
The car is insulated so well, I could have a bon fire underneath and not know it.
Re the electrical system. My cruise control has stopped working. No light comes on the dash when I press the button on the steering column and the system doesn't engage. I'll check the fuse, if it's not this , what else could it be ?
Any comments would be much appreciated . They can also be sent to my regular e-mail : <gregehammond@yahoo.com>
Thanx
