Guys can anyone tell me if the 2000 4.0 Ltr V8 P38 has a kickdown cable or is it run by an ECU. Reason i ask is that on mine the first stage kickdown is fine but on the 2nd stage kickdown (full beans) it drops down and engine revs rise and gets to about 5000 rpm but wont change up unless i back off the throttle a little. The gearbox has had a recent gearbox oil and filter change. I have seen on here that new oil can dislodge old crud and block the system. If there is no cable to adjust can you flush the box to clear the system so i can use the full kickdown facility. everyday driving is fine and box functions in everyother function perfectly or is it a new ECU or box rebuild ???
