Ok so i have been having the same problem as everyone else with what seems to be early s60R's. My car is a GT so keep that in mind. Under full throttle in third gear it would hit 10 maybe 11 psi and immediately back down to 9psi. Its just like in 1st and 2nd gear when tq limiting. I haven't looked into fixing it to much being that it hot in Texas plus the car drives so whatever.
So in the last 2 days i changed front control arm (helped tremendously with steering feel being the bushing were pretty bad at 80k miles), flushed the ATF, and changed the AG oil. So i get the car back together but don't drive it until this morning.
While flushing the ATF i noticed that the TCV (stock) had come off its mount and was laying on the transmission. when i put it back together i made sure to reattach it to the airbox.
When i drove the car this morning i get on the hiway. Im in 3rd gear, get onto it getting on the hiway and low and behold it peaks 16psi then drops to about 11psi. HAHA i have no idea why im making more after changing ATF, angle gear fluid and control arms. Maybe the R is saying thank you.
In all seriousness, i was thinking, maybe the TCV rattling around could have made it not work properly or possibly the transmission is not slipping with new fluid. The fluid was dark but not black. The transmission never showed signs of slip of shifting bad. I didnt unplug the battery or anything like that. I have no idea.. Do you guys have any ideas?
