I have an 86 Auto transmission in my T3. In recent times there has been a problem with the accelerator. When I start off in the morning, or start off from the lights etc, I find that the accelerator pedal sticks most times. I have to push it quite hard to get it to operate. Once it DOES operate, there is no problem until I have had my foot off the pedal for some time. After quite a bit of poking around I find that it is not to do with the pivot at the bottom of the pedal or that under the floor. It also isn�t to do with the engine end of the cable. It also isn�t to do with friction in the cable sheath. It seems that the resistance is in the auto transmission (the accelerator cables connects to the kickdown lever on the A/T and then a cable goes from this lever to the engine.). It is the actual movement of the kickdown lever that is the problem. Has anyone has this issue arise? I can open up the transmission, but it is a bit messy and cost the ATF, so before I do that again I�m wondering whether anyone else can comment having found a similar problem. Thanks folks, Dave
