Is this normal? (dumb transmission question)

[98 SNAKE EATER]

I'm currently tooling around in a 91 LC and will hopefully take ownership soon

Just a dumb question about the tranny....

Is it normal for the gear selector to toggle back and forth between 3 and D without having to depress the selector button?

I know that's normal on Honda's, but I'm not sure about the LC

Normal.

Really? A '91's shifter will move itself between 3rd and D without driver intervention? Did I mistread this? Or are you asking if the tranny will shift between 3rd and 4th without driver intervention (as would any automatic tranny)?

Okay...I just re-read it and think I understand. He's talking about being able to move the shift between 3rd and D without having to press the button. Sometimes I have to read it a few times 'cuz I'm slow.

Gee Tom, I woulda just deleted my post so everyone wouldn't see that I'm a dummy. Now you're there for eternity.

Hey...I said I was slow, didn't I?

LOL

Thanx guys, it was driving me nuts not knowing

Another dumb question....

How exactly do you figure out what series the LC's are?

Like, what years are the 60's, 62's, 80's and so on

A 40 looks like a Heep (or is it the other way around?) 1958-83

A 45 is either a 40 with a truckbed on the back or a funky wagon-thing, mid 60's

A 55 is an Iron Pig, flat paneled looking wagon-thing with about the same drivetrain as a 40. 69-79

A 60 is a more sculpted wagon 81-87

A 62 is a 60 with square headlamps and an EFI motor/auto trans. 88-90

80's are stud-muffins 91-97

Ahh, ok


Thanx for the rundown

I'm guessing the 100-series are the latest models....

Is that when they came out with the front IRS?

I was scoping out my uncle's 2000 LC while putting a new exhaust system on it and it looked so much different than my 91....

Mine looked much more like a heavy duty off-road setup compared to his.....

front IRS = IFS

The UZJ is a fancy beast, but still a beast.

front IRS = IFS

Call me a weirdo, but I've always referred to it as front IRS :whoops:

I guess cause I usually work on RWD cars that have IFS
