1986 Cadillac Fleetwood Coupe DeVille (love rubbing that in )
V8 4.1 liter
Background:
I acquired a well-maintained caddy two years ago.
The car had a rebuilt transmission installed by an independent shop. Unknown if it is an OEM tranny and parts. This was done by the previous owner, so, I do not have the paperwork.
Symptom:
Depending on throttle position, car has a lagging two-three shift.
Question:
1. Do these model Cadillacs have an electrical relay that could be the culprit of the condition?
2. Are there sollutions that do not involve overhaul of the transmission?
