On a 95 D1 with auto transmission is the shifting (both up and down) activated by purely mechanical means or is it a combination of mechanical and vacuum or electronic or what? The reason I ask is that I recently repaired a cracked vacuum hose that had to do with my cruise control and since then my transmission seems to be shifting smoother and kicking down easier. Just my imagination? Thanks! |

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I know the D1's never where electronically controlled, whereas the D2's are. Not to sure though whether the D1's are mechanically controlled or vacuum controlled, I only assume mechanically controlled !! Matt. |

Mechanical via the kickdown cable that attaches between the throttle and transmission valve body. This broke on mine and it no longer would downshift when I gave it gas
